upon each side. Aft of these
steps are hanging lockers
on each side, and on the aft
stateroom bulkhead there is
a dressing table and dresser
with a swing-out seat.
There are drawers under
the berth’s foot. Under the

thruster and its battery.
Above the head of the port side of the berth, there is an intercom
phone and a remote control for the ship’s Westerbeke generator.
