Hummingbird Interior: The Mess
Posted Aug 8, 2012 - 9:30:41

So today's post is yet another interior look at the HMS Hummingbird from my webcomic The Chronicles of Crosarth. We've previously seen Commander Friday's Quarters and the central hall of the lower deck. Today we look at the Mess/lounge area of the ship.

(For the record, the door on the left in the central hall leads to the door on the right in this image).

The door on the far wall leads to the bunk area, and the cooking area is just behind this point of view. Not much else to say about this particular room - I mean, it's a room. The Hummingbird is a fairly spartan ship.
- Traegorn

Trae, if this is where they eat, then the correct term for a ship is the Galley. Just pointing that out since you're using a Naval theme here. And yes that's the term in traditional Navy too.

Mess is the dining hall, Galley is the kitchen.

Well true but it can also be the dining area as well. It's a collective term. Mess Hall is more associated to land based military.

Mess deck is still a normal term, at least in British Navies -- which is what Crosarth is based on.
