“Who knew there was such a thing as a “navigation bridge”

All mariners know this. Like all terms nautical, there is a history and you need to understand the history in order to understand the term, what it means, and how if fits into life at sea.

As you will discover, the orginal bridge was not used for navigation, but eventually that became the primary purpose of a bridge. Some ships have multiple bridges.
