Ventilators

Ventilators were important fixtures on old sailing ships that provided ventilation and fresh air below deck. They were cylindrical or box-like structures made of wood or metal and were typically installed on the deck or sides of the ship. Ventilators featured a series of slats or openings to allow air to circulate while preventing the entry of water or debris. The primary purpose of ventilators was to improve air circulation and reduce the buildup of moisture, odors, and stale air below deck. In the confined spaces of the ship’s interior, where crew members lived and worked, proper ventilation was essential for maintaining a healthy and comfortable environment. Ventilators allowed fresh air to enter and stale air to escape, helping to mitigate issues such as dampness, mold, and the accumulation of odors. They also played a crucial role in regulating temperature and humidity levels, ensuring the well-being of the crew and the preservation of supplies.
