Later, the small open well at the stern of a small ship (holding the helmsman and often other crew members) was called the cockpit. Not usually bloody, it was often crowded and hectic, especially if the ship were in a race. When airplanes became manufactured the small compartment that housed the pilot was compared to the confines, and sometimes conditions, of a cockpit.
