Information ref the Forecastle. [raised deck area at the front of the ship].

Foremast, manoeuvring capstan [warping / kedging and hauling up anchors],
The two main anchors are actually hooked over the rail [similar to the Naval style of "catting" ].
[plus the smaller "kedge" anchors].

In a much more modern ship, the forecastle [fo'c'sle] is the crew's quarters - during the Napoleonic era, naval ratings usually slept in hammocks on the gun decks.
