Different ships have different names for different areas.A Crows Nest is located high on the mast. The higher the lookouts position, the farther they can see over the horizon. This is the same as being able to see farther from a tall building than from down on the street.The area above the bridge is called the Flying Bridge.The areas on either side of the bridge are called the Bridge Wings.During periods of low visibility a lookout may be placed on the Bow or Focsle and another stationed on the Stern or back of the vessel.
