Freedom Calling - Captain's Cabin Aboard Ship - The Lady Grey
ABOARD THE SHIP - CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS
Book Excerpts
"The captain went into his cabin to the nook lined with rolls of nautical charts. Bent over the large map spread out on the map table, he traced our plotted route and pointed to our present location...."

It is a typical interior of a New England barque. The design and furnishings of Freedom Calling's whale ship, the LADY GREY, would have been very much like this.
The captain's cabin was located in the aft-most section of the ship. A bank of large, paned windows lined the stern-side gallery that, by day, bathed the cabin in rays of bright, sunny light and silvery moonlight by night.
How amazing it would be,... to be seated at the chart table with the beautiful panorama of azure blue sky and cobalt sea receding behind you!
