A Bridge is the raised platform from which the captain controls the ship. Originally (and still) meaning a structure carrying a road, etc., over a gap, ravine, river, etc., its current nautical use arose when steamships with paddle-wheels replaced sailing ships, in which the captain had commanded from the quarterdeck. Now, the platform bridging the gap between the two paddle-wheels gave a better all-around view; and this ‘bridge’ was retained when the propeller replaced them. In modern small sailing cruisers, the ‘bridge-deck’ is the transverse structure at the forward end of the cockpit forming the top of the cabin steps and often housing the engine.
From the Old Teutonic via Old Engish ‘brycg’. First attested in its nautical use in 1843.

Please explain the word BLOG. Also why do they call it the “bridge” on a ship?

lol melikadothechacha,

Your comment about the head shop, reminds me of an episode of ‘The Simpsons’, where ‘Otto’ the busdriver was at a place called “Stoner’s Pot Palace”.

After he realized that there were garden pots inside, he left the store in frustration and said “Man, that’s false advertising” :lol:

As a result of Captain Jack's post, below,about poop deck, I started to Google for a picture to illustrate the Poop Royale which I have also seen on sailing junks in East Asia. I came upon this site which shows a fine junk which is used for day cruises in Thailand, and to my surprise, it's for "Gays"; curious co-incidence or is Marina trying to tell us something? :sad:
