It was located on the foremast, above and behind the bridge. It was used to look out for collision hazards. Being higher up, the crewman on lookout in the crow's nest would have a better view. There was no radar in those days, and even radar did not save the liner Andrea Doria from sinking after colliding with a cargo ship in 1956. Modern ships with radar still have a crow's nest as a backup in case of systems failure. On a frigate patrolling dangerous waters, a crewman with a shoulder-launched missile may be posted in the crow's nest because....even if they call it something different today.....the concept of a crow's nest is still valid.
