SHIP: There is a small room next to the first crew’s quarter – it’s a divers’ room. When the ship would embark on longer voyages of three months or more, the diving team would join the crew. All their equipment was stored in there: compressed air tanks, breathing regulators, diving suits and other vital tools. The divers were responsible for neutralising anchor mines, torpedoes and bottom mines. They also acted as rescuers in case someone accidentally fell overboard. This place on board was theirs, like a small harbour to which they were constantly returning from the depths of the water.
