In naval architecture, a poop deck is a deck that constitutes the roof of a poop cabin built in the aft (rear) part of the superstructure of a ship. The name originates from the Latin puppis, or the elevated stern deck.
In sailing ships, with the steerage at the stern, an elevated position was ideal for both navigation and observation of the crew.
