Steps

Steps on ships were functional structures that facilitated movement between different levels or decks within the vessel. They were typically made of wood or metal and were strategically placed along the ship’s interior or exterior. Steps played a crucial role in providing access and facilitating the movement of crew members and passengers throughout the ship. They were designed to be sturdy and secure, allowing individuals to ascend or descend safely. Steps were commonly found in areas such as the forecastle, quarterdeck, or between decks, enabling easy access to different compartments, living quarters, or workspaces. The number of steps and their arrangement varied depending on the ship’s size and layout. They were often accompanied by handrails or grab lines to enhance safety and stability, especially in rough sea conditions. Wooden Model Ship Fittings Steps come in a range of sizes and shapes.
