Sailors on ships historically used a variety of methods to relieve themselves, often depending on the type of vessel and its facilities. Smaller ships might have had a designated spot at the stern or a "head" over the side, where they could go overboard. Larger ships typically had a more structured toilet area, sometimes referred to as a "heads," which was a small compartment with a seat that emptied directly into the sea. Privacy was limited, and sailors often had to be resourceful and discreet in managing their needs.

Pirates, like sailors of their time, would relieve themselves off the side of the ship, often referred to as "the rail."
