Now THAT'S a "Poop Deck!" (new pix added)
Ahoy from the coast of Maine!
Boaters will know what I mean by that term...
My Dad's old 26' lobster boat had a 3' section of decking at gunwale ("gunnel") height between the open cockpit and the transom. Originally meant to store lobster traps, on our recreational lobster boat it was a handy place for us kids to sit, hang out and fish when we were young.
Later, when dear old Dad upgraded to a lapstrake 30' Chris Craft, we downsized to a 1' section of decking -- not quite a "poop deck", but still enough to sit on and hang on to the rail.
But this....
THIS IS A POOP DECK!!!
It even has a side-folding gunwale and an underwater deck too!!!
My wife took one look and said "Oooh, I like...."
Uh oh.... I'd better start saving some $$$!
Actually, the "poop" on the deck has nothing to do with leftovers from seagulls... The name originates from the French word for the "stern", "la poupe", from the Latin word "puppis".
But yeah, I did have seagulls to deal with too... And 3 brothers too...

And, in the days of sailing ships & galleons, the real "poop" deck was up front, at the prow where the wind driving the ship would also take the stench with it, away from the rest of the folks aboard - Why sailors today refer to the toilet as "the head" (of the ship).

That baby has waaayyy too much class for me.....I find an inner tube easier to navigate. As for the "poop", well, I just mess my pants whenever I have to go and shake my leg and let it drop out the pant leg.---6

Re: Now THAT'S a "Poop Deck!"
Dang Gunny!!! That's great thinking. Thanks!... All this time I've been "dropping and rinsing".....most of the time, not even rinsing. It's ok in the water but out of the water it tends to "cake up" and get all scratchy.....geeze...I'm starting to sound like an Arab.---6

Re: Now THAT'S a "Poop Deck!"
Do you still have this gem??? I have a 17' Runabout that's been sitting for years that I want to restore BUT way toooo busy to start on her . Too many projects, not enough time!!!Later, when dear old Dad upgraded to a lapstrake 30' Chris Craft, we downsized to a 1' section of decking -- not quite a "poop deck", but still enough to sit on and hang on to the rail.

She looked just like this one, with the red anti-fouling bottom, the white "boot stripe", blue hull and white upper...
We have many years of great memories on that boat from the mid-60's to early 80's...
She was "WOOD - BUT GOOD!" As my Dad would say, in those days when fiberglass had invaded the boat yards.

So, let's recap.
A poop deck is not where one would hang a part of one's anatomy over to relieve one's self?

There was also a rope netting hung from the bowsprit to the bow for sailors to sit in and do their business. Occasionally you can see the netting in pics of square riggers that are accurately rigged...Pete44ru wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 2:36 pm .

Going through some photos today -- I found this old picture of the four buoys on the Poop Deck of the "Four Buoys"...Old No7 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 12:24 pm My Dad's old 26' lobster boat had a 3' section of decking at gunwale ("gunnel") height between the open cockpit and the transom.

That's me on the starboard side next to my identical twin... (I think...)

Re: Now THAT'S a "Poop Deck!" (new pix added)
You can take the Yankee out of New England but you can't take the New England out of the Yankee. My dad left his Massachusetts home in 1942 joining the US Army Amphibious Engineers, and serving in the SW Pacific until the end of the war then going straight to Japan from the Philippines as part of the occupied forces. He wound up staying there until 1966 when he was transferred to Hawai'i. He always had a rowing Dory but one of his dream boats was a New England style loster boat. I must admit they sure are purdy. He was seriously considering ordering a New England built Bruno & Stillman boat. We had the brochures but the shipping cost (to Hawai'i) killed the deal. He even considered running it down the coast through the Panama Canal and then loading it up with drum cans of extra diesel fuel to make a run across the Pacific to Hawai'i. I know of no seaman more capable than he, and I was extremely excited to be a part of his crew but... My mom put a stop to that idea. This was in the early '70s when I was about 12 or 13. Many years later I found a beautiful little 21 New England lobster boat style 21 footer built in SW Florida by Atlas Boatworks, and my dad loved the lines of the boat and it's Yanmar diesel engine but by this time he was already in his mid 70s and he was looking after my now frail mom. He settled on a 15'6 fiberglass rowing Dory which he kept at stream side in the backyard. I inherited this Dory almost 11 years ago after his passing. I had to sell that stream side property last November (and divy up the monies 6 ways between siblings) so the Dory now sits landlocked in the yard of my new (to me) home.

I did some Google research for you and I found these... Enjoy!!!
Here's a 32' 1979 Bruno & Stillman made lobster boat that's for sale in SC...
And here's Ji and his Dad making the run from Panama to the big island!!!

Re: Now THAT'S a "Poop Deck!" (new pix added)
WOW, Thanks for the research and photos. I was surprised I never found the brochures for Bruno & Stillman in my dad's things while packing up before my move last September. That post above I made using my very first smart phone which is totally new to me, still trying to figure out how to save and post pictures with that thing. I've had it for just a tad over a month, and I'm a slow learner tech-wise.
I did a little research on my normal computer and found out that Atlas Boatworks is still in business and located in Cape Coral, Florida where my kid sis lives, and where I may be settling down eventually when I retire in about 7 years. Who knows, maybe I'll eventually have a canal-front home with a Pompano 21 in my backyard.
