Poop Deck trivia – The term 'poop deck' refers to the partial deck above the ship's main afterdeck at the stern of the ship. In the days before indoor plumbing, a structure was rigged aft of this deck over the sea for the purpose of relieving oneself.  Some ships also had a half-barrel with a lid, which was used to collect urine. The seamen would wash their clothes in the urine to kill the lice prior to rinsing them in seawater. When a ship takes a wave over the stern of a ship it is said to be 'pooped.' 

P is for Poop Deck!
