Abstract on the topic:

Bridge (nautical term)

Bridge- a fenced part of the deck of the upper tiers of superstructures and deckhouses or a separate platform. bridges designed to accommodate control, surveillance or communication posts, as well as to move from one superstructure to another.

bridges distinguished by purpose - running, rangefinder, signal, searchlight, navigation and others.

By location bridges divided into bow and stern, according to the degree of protection from the effects of adverse environmental conditions - open, closed and semi-closed.

The entire deck of the wheelhouse is called navigation bridge, and its open areas along the sides from the felling - navigation bridge wings. On ships intended for navigation in high latitudes, the wings of the navigation bridge and the wheelhouse are combined into one closed room to protect against low temperatures. navigation bridge also bears the name captain's(pilot bridge).

navigation bridge called the roof of the wheelhouse and adjacent rooms. On running and navigation bridges the main control posts of the ship are located.

A variety of ship bridges are bridges located above the upper deck and intended for transition from one side to another and for communication between superstructures. Longitudinal bridges are installed on tankers that do not have any internal passages below the upper deck and have a small freeboard when fully loaded.

1.7.1 Wheelhouse

Vessel control posts are installed in the wheelhouse. The equipment is installed so that the vessel can be operated by one person. The shape, dimensions of the cabin and its glazing should provide the navigator with a maximum view close to 360 0 .

Wheelhouse equipment:

PSO, PV, PVM, PSV

PSPB, PSLB

Inclinometer (on the front wall of the cabin closer to the DP)

Fire alarm board

Signal light switch (rear wall of the wheelhouse)

Axiometer (according to DP on the ceiling)

Navigator's chair

Sofa (allowed at the back wall)

Hangers

Shelves and hangers for documents and flags

The front walls of the cabin are inclined. Walls between windows 150 mm.

A sketch of the wheelhouse is shown in Figure 1/17.

1.7.2 Navigation enclosure

To determine the position of the vessel, the course with the help of navigation equipment, instruments and maps in modern wheelhouses, a navigational post is shielded in the wheelhouses, which are placed at the rear wall to the right of the DP. The navigator's post is equipped with a navigator's table with boxes for maps. The table is placed so that the navigator is facing the bow of the vessel.

1.7.3 Upper navigation bridge and bridge wings

On the upper navigation bridge, speech tubes, antennas and a searchlight are installed.

The wings of the navigation bridge are located behind a large wheelhouse. Dimensions provide observations along the side of the ship, bearings of coastal objects. Peloruses are installed on the wings.

2 Ship equipment and supplies

The equipment and supply of the vessel is made in accordance with the requirements of the "Rules" of the Russian River Register.

2.1 Signaling means

The number of signal lights and daytime signals is assigned according to Table 10.2.1 of the "Rules" and is presented in Table 2.1

In accordance with paragraph 10.5.2 of the "Rules" of the Russian River Register, signal lights must have illumination angles and visibility range, which are presented in Table 2.1.1

In accordance with paragraphs 10.3 of the "Rules" of the Russian River Register, the ship is equipped with pyrotechnic signaling means:

Distress signal rockets parachute ships - 3 pieces;

Red flares - 3 pieces.

To launch distress missiles on each side of the ship, a special glass with a slot should be installed on the bridge guard or bulwark, tilted outward at an angle of 60-70° to the horizon.

In accordance with the "Standards for the supply of signaling sound means" of paragraph 10.4 of the "Rules" of the Russian River Register, the ship is equipped with air typhons for giving sound signals.

Table 2.1 - Signal lights and daytime signals of the vessel

Signal lights						Daily Signals
	Airborne	Feed	Light-pulse go-ahead	Circular	Parking onboard	black ball	Flag go-ahead white

1*-red, 2*-green, 3*-white, 4*-circular

Table 2.1.1 - Illumination angles and visibility range of signal and distinguishing lights.

Type and color of signal and distinguishing lamp	Lighting sector in the horizontal plane
	Visibility range, km	Illumination Angle	Viewing angles


Top lantern			From the centreline of the ship from the bow 112.5° on each side


Side lamp			From straight ahead of the vessel to 22.5° astern of starboard beam


			From straight ahead of the vessel to 22.5° astern of the port beam


stern lantern			From straight aft to 67.5° on each side


Circular			All over the horizon

Parking onboard			From the beam of the vessel at 90 ° fore and aft

Light-pulse go-ahead:			From the ship's beam to the bow with a centerline overlap of 22.5° and from the ship's beam to the stern with a centerline overlap of 22.5°






Light signal

The top lights are installed in the diametrical plane of the vessel. On-board distinctive lights are installed in special niches of the wheelhouse and are located on the same horizontal line symmetrically to the center plane of the ship. One stern lantern is installed behind the superstructure in the center plane of the vessel at the same height as the side distinctive lanterns. The other two are on the bulwark on the same horizontal line and symmetrically with respect to the diametrical plane. Onboard parking lights are located on the sides of the navigation bridge. Light pulse signals are installed in pairs (in the bow and stern) on each side above the side lights at a height of 0.5 m.

Attention! A lot of photos.
Photos are clickable.

Let's continue with the boat trips.
Well, today is the most tempting.. most attractive place.
Walking bridge.
Bridge of a 50,000 tanker.
On this tanker, the bridge is completely closed ... it was assumed that the ship would operate in high latitudes. And this series, yes ... did work and continues to work in winter. In particular, in winter in Canada ... and they know what ice and cold are.
In addition, a series of these tankers were the first in the world to receive the "winterization" class ... but, to be honest, this steamer did not impress with its winter qualities. European shipbuilders are much more competent in this regard.
Well, it's all lyrics...

Everything is glazed .. from side to side. Wings of the bridge and wheelhouse.

Left side wing.
On the wings of both sides are the ship control panels.
That this is a column painted gray .. I won’t explain. Everyone already guessed ...
Vaughan, if you look closely ... you can see the handle of an ax tucked under this column)

Everything you need. DAU handle, VHF radio ...

That's it, this is a board) The portholes are movable.

There is never a lot of space on a steamboat.

Here on the stern windows all sorts of things are stored.
For example..signal flags.
And on the bedside table there are emergency radio stations. Use only when abandoning, that is, leaving the ship.

Well, these are radio beacons. Also for use in an emergency.

Compass.

And this is .. navigational.
Heavy, light-proof curtains. At night, while the ship is moving, the navigator's room is curtained with these curtains. At sea, at night, the bridge is in complete darkness ... it's easier to notice the lights of the oncoming ship.

And racks with all sorts of instructive and guiding ...

The chart table again.

Computers and devices...

This is an echo sounder display, lag (speedometer)) and an anachronism .. everything is nearby)

And this is it .. the same ship's magazine.

The table is made with drawers for cards (not playing cards) ... but that’s all .. paper cards are a thing of the past. Cartography is now electronic.
The cards, of course, remained ... but they drag them slowly .. write off.

This device is now planning a flight.
The compass and parallel ruler are gone.

Also on the bridge .. in the same table life jackets for the watch, signal flares, an emergency line-thrower are stored ...

And this is a communication block.
Communication is everyday ... so to speak, and emergency.

Of course .. hours. Timekeeping on the ship is important.
Damn, but the most important ship's chronometer did not take a picture ...

Our office is in Singapore, the personnel department is in Nakhodka.

All kinds of certificates.

In the corner, too ... communication equipment. And racks, racks, racks ...

Well, this is ... well, what .. is in perfect harmony with itself .. with modern space equipment.
(There is a service in the sea church. The preacher from the pulpit broadcasts:
-And so, when you see that your boat has lost its sails and rudder ... and the waves and the wind carry you to the stones ... what? what should you do? .. That's right, fall to your knees and throw your hands up ...
- Anchor, bang .. - a smoky hoarse voice from the last shop - Anchor, bang, you need to throw it.)

So we got to the starboard side. Here you can ... sit on the sofa and drink tea and coffee in the local teahouse.
I knew one captain who lived on the bridge ... on such a sofa.
He went to the cabin only to shower .. and sometimes change his shirt.
The navigators were a little tense.

There are doors on the wings of the bridge.. you can go out on deck.
Aft side.

Right .. the same control console.

And these are already blocks for lighting the vessel and controlling navigation lights.
These are also fire alarm and fire extinguishing systems control units.

Reference tables for ship management.

Well, and ... the central control console.
Right wing .. power plant control.

Center - navigation.

Electronic navigation..in action)

On flexible leads..these are lamps. When they are turned on...they glow red.

The throne of the captain) Sitting on this .. as it were .. is not recommended) Repressions are sometimes very strong ...
-They START on the watch ... but they don’t sit or lie down !!!... -I remember .. once a very well-deserved captain yelled at the navigator on duty, catching him in this chair. Now that navigator .. is a captain himself and yells the same way ... and adds:
-That's when I was third...
And then I usually start laughing, and they kick me out of the bridge.

And this is already ... sad modernity.
Camcorders and microphones. We also have an analogue of black boxes.

Steering wheel. At sea.. autopilot.
On manual when the passage of narrowness (but not always .. entry and exit from the port, mooring-unmooring)
All this, of course, is tied into one control complex.

On the frontal part, above the windows, there is a dashboard ... a quick glance at this panel, and you can immediately see the real course of the vessel, the position of the rudder blade, the time ...

And this ... let's say this .. periscope. Shows magnetic compass data.
The magnetic compass itself is installed on the navigation bridge.
Located above the steering column.

Table again. Williamson's loop. Maneuver in case of "Man overboard".

At the beginning of the post .. signal flags were visible on the porthole. In fact, the flags are stored like this:

Radars radars ... GPS .. GMDSS ... satellites and space ...
But the old and the good hasn't gone anywhere.
Direction finder.

Binoculars

There is also a sextant. True, the last time I saw its use today ... already in 1991.

Barograph.

Chronometer. But it's not as beautiful.. as in the box.. the one in the case of non-ferrous metal.

But this...
Maybe someone noticed that wipers are installed on the windshields ... like on a car.
This stray .. helps with strong snow charges, when the wipers do not save ...
This disk rotates at high speed, and knocks down everything that sticks to it .. through it and look ahead.

I didn’t take a picture of the toilet. But it is)
There is also a fountain of drinking water ... but they don’t use it. They try to drink bottled water.

Portholes with heating and blowing. Pipes for washing with water are also connected outside.
The wind puts sea water on the glass ... salt. You have to wash it often.

In general, it is convenient to lean on the windowsill with your elbows and stick your forehead into the porthole)
And you can see this spot .. from the forehead .. immediately)

Bridge..one of the few places where you can smoke.

Aft view from the bridge.

That, perhaps, is all. Such is the bridge ...

We wish the shift officer a calm watch ... and leave.
Shall we go to the car?
Or how?

Story

Initially, the ship was controlled from quarterdeck - the aft part of the deck, as a rule - elevated for a better view. The location of the quarters in the immediate vicinity of the steering gear made it possible to simplify the steering gear as much as possible. In the same place, inside the poop, the captain's cabin was usually located, which provided him with quick access to the quarterdeck. After the appearance of the first steamships, this arrangement turned out to be inconvenient - the captain and officers were constantly bothered by smoke from the chimneys, in addition, the view was greatly blocked by the casings of the paddle wheels. Therefore, a separate platform appears in the middle part of the ship, sometimes in the form of a bridge thrown between the casings of the wheels, from which the captain commanded the ship, and the engineering staff could observe the operation of the paddle wheels and give orders to the engine room located below.
Subsequently, thanks to the spread of servo drives and on-board communication devices, it became possible to move the bridge forward, into the bow of the ship, providing from it best review- especially after the abolition of sails. On many ships, several bridges appear that serve various purposes - navigation (captain's), navigation, admiral (from which the admiral and his staff could manage the squadron as a whole without interfering with the work of the captain of the flagship), and so on.
In the 20th century, covered bridges with glazing protected from the weather became widespread, providing comfortable working conditions in any weather.

An excerpt characterizing the Bridge (nautical term)

He urged on his already tired horse in order to quickly pass these crowds, but the farther he moved, the more upset the crowds became. By high road, on which he left, carriages, carriages of all kinds, Russian and Austrian soldiers, of all branches of the military, wounded and unwounded, crowded. All this buzzed and swarmed mixedly to the gloomy sound of flying cannonballs from the French batteries placed on the Pracen Heights.
- Where is the Emperor? where is Kutuzov? - Rostov asked everyone he could stop, and could not get an answer from anyone.
Finally, grabbing the soldier by the collar, he forced him to answer himself.
- E! Brother! Everyone has been there for a long time, forward fled! - the soldier said to Rostov, laughing at something and breaking free.
Leaving this soldier, who was obviously drunk, Rostov stopped the horse of the batman or the caretaker of an important person and began to question him. The batman announced to Rostov that an hour ago the sovereign had been driven at full speed in a carriage along this very road, and that the sovereign was dangerously wounded.
“It can’t be,” said Rostov, “that’s right, someone else.”
“I saw it myself,” said the batman with a self-confident grin. - It’s time for me to know the sovereign: it seems how many times in Petersburg I saw it like that. Pale, pale, sitting in a carriage. As soon as he let the four blacks, my fathers, he thundered past us: it seems time to know both the royal horses and Ilya Ivanovich; it seems that the coachman does not travel with another, like with Tsar Ilya.
Rostov let his horse go and wanted to go on. A wounded officer walking by turned to him.
- Whom do you need? the officer asked. - Commander-in-Chief? So he was killed with a cannonball, he was killed in the chest with our regiment.
“Not killed, wounded,” another officer corrected.
- Yes, who? Kutuzov? Rostov asked.
- Not Kutuzov, but how do you put it, - well, yes, everything is the same, not many are left alive. Go over there, over there, to that village, all the authorities have gathered there, - this officer said, pointing to the village of Gostieradek, and passed by.
Rostov rode at a pace, not knowing why and to whom he would now go. The sovereign is wounded, the battle is lost. It was impossible not to believe it now. Rostov was driving in the direction indicated to him and along which the tower and the church could be seen in the distance. Where was he in a hurry? What was he to say now to the sovereign or Kutuzov, even if they were alive and not wounded?
“Go along this road, your honor, and they’ll kill you right here,” the soldier shouted to him. - They'll kill you!
- ABOUT! what are you saying! said the other. – Where will he go? It's closer here.
Rostov thought about it and went exactly in the direction where he was told that they would kill him.
“Now it doesn’t matter: if the sovereign is wounded, can I really take care of myself?” he thought. He drove into the space where most of the people who fled from Pracen died. The French had not yet occupied this place, and the Russians, those who were alive or wounded, had long since left it. On the field, like shocks on a good arable land, there were ten people, fifteen killed, wounded on every tithe of the place. The wounded crawled down in twos, threes together, and unpleasant, sometimes feigned, as it seemed to Rostov, their cries and groans were heard. Rostov trotted his horse so as not to see all these suffering people, and he became afraid. He was afraid not for his life, but for the courage he needed and which, he knew, would not withstand the sight of these unfortunates.
The French, who had stopped shooting at this field, littered with the dead and wounded, because there was no longer anyone alive on it, saw the adjutant riding on it, pointed a gun at him and threw several cores. The feeling of these whistling, terrible sounds and the surrounding dead merged for Rostov into one impression of horror and self-pity. He remembered his mother's last letter. “What would she feel,” he thought, “if she could see me here now, on this field and with guns aimed at me.”
