The hull, the deck, and the sails are just three of the many parts of a ship. The hull is laid on a keel, the deck has gunwales (rails) to prevent people from falling overboard, the gunwales have scuppers to allow water to run off of the deck, the sails are supported by masts, shrouds, stays, and spars and are controlled by lines (ropes) that are adjusted by capstans. The lines are often tied off to belaying pins. Sails and the crow's nest are accessed by way of climbing the ratlines. The captain's quarters are where he sleeps, the galley is where food is prepared, and the forecastle is where the crew sleeps.
