carpenter
1. In the Age of Sail, a warrant officer responsible for the hull, masts, spars, and boats of a vessel, and also for sounding the well to see if the vessel was making water.
2. A senior rating responsible for all of the woodwork aboard a vessel. In 1948, the US Navy Carpenters Mate rating was changed to Damage Controlman and Aviation Carpenter's Mate was combined with the Aviation Machinist's Mate rating.
carpenter's walk
On a tall ship, a is a narrow unlit passageway or bulkhead often with a low (four-foot) ceiling that is fitted around the hull at its waterline. The carpenter's walk allowed the ship's carpenter to tour the entire waterline area of a ship to inspect it for water leaks.
Because of its dark and seldom-visited nature and location far below decks, it was also sometimes used by mutinous sailors as a secluded place to plan a rebellion against the ship's officers.
This is a drawing of the carpenter's walk on HMS Victory. 
Not to be confused with the Carpenters' Walk in Hollywood.
