Depends on the ship some just used an Bucket others had a hole up by the bow usually in the are of or in the bowsprit or in the forecastle. others will have some setup in the stern of the ship,I only know this since we have a ton of replica's here on the west cost as museum pieces. I wanted to work on one but at 6'4" I keep banging my head. Mike M
