What is Monkey Island on Ships?
The term “monkey island” refers to a place on the ship which is located at the top most accessible height. Technically, it is a deck located directly above the navigating bridge of the ship. It is also referred to as the flying bridge on top of a pilothouse or chart house, and also as the ship’s upper bridge. Sailors would use this place to perform solar and stellar observations.
During the ancient time, when ship used to have masts and sails, the monkey island was also supposed to be located about 3/4th way up the main mast on few ships.
There is no solid evidence or proof to back the origin of the term “monkey island”; however according to one theory, some people believe that as the monkey island was located at the top of the main mast of sailing ships, sailors had to scramble up the ship’s rigging to free or repair the sails and rigging or to keep a lookout for icebergs , reefs, or land. Because the sailors had to climb as the monkeys do, this topmost place was termed as Monkey island.
我个人倒是觉得,标准罗经安装在驾驶台顶上,平时用帆布裹着,月色朦胧之夜独自上罗经平台,隐隐约约看见像有个什么东西蹲在那里,想像中像是猴子,老师傅说这个地方叫”猴子岛“。我有这个经验,起疙瘩皮。
