A bulkhead is a nautical term for a "wall" in a ship. It is a structural element and a load bearing division of a vessel, and it can run beam to beam or fore and aft. Bulkheads could separate something like the grain storage compartments in a barge, or could run along either side of a passageway on a cruise ship. A baffle may provide some structural support, but it is a partition with holes in it. We'll see baffles in something like the fuel tanks of large ships. The baffles will inhibit the movement of fuel from one side of the vessel to the other as it rolls in seas, and this will increase stability dramatically.
