Food service counters were placed at the aft end of the main deck, surrounded by open spaces, and a pair of stairs leading to decks above.
The modified Flowers saw the forecastle extended aft past the bridge to the aft end of the funnel, a variation known as the "long forecastle" design. Apart from providing a very useful space where the whole crew could gather out of the weather, the added weight improved the ships' stability and speed and was retroactively applied to a number of ...
