Ship Layouts - The Black Pearl

Note: I neither own, nor claim to own any rights whatsoever to the designs of the Black Pearl, and have no affiliation whatsoever with Disney, or its designers.
The Black Pearl - Ship Layout
Information
I used the design of the Pearl as uploaded to ign here, and basically took from it everything that matters - that is, the outside of the ship. The guts of the ship weren't included in the designs, so I had to take some liberties. However, the Pearl remains the intellectual property of its creators - we're just borrowing it and using it for the game
Ready? Here we go.
Deck Line
This is a simple plan of the top deck, as presented in the original designs Working from bow to stern (front to back for us landlubbers), we first come to the the quarterdeck, beneath which are Captain Jack's quarters. On the quarterdeck is a small window to let light into the captain's Quarters from above, the chimney of the galley stove, the mizzenmast, and the wheel - which is pretty important if you want to know where you're going.
Coming onto the main deck down the stairs (between these are the doors into the captain's quarters), we see the capstan, which is used for hauling and securing sails and rigging, and the mainmast (the Pearl's design has the mainmast coming out of the centre of the capstan) Past this are two sets of ladders leading into the cargo hold, and between them a grill that can be removed, which is used to lifting in larger cargoes like barrels.
The Pearl's first battery of canons are also on the main deck. There are ten in total on this deck, and another ten sweeps below, and these are particularly handy should the ship need to broadside with another ship.
Down the stairs onto the lower deck, we find the foremast, and another smaller opening into the cargo hold for storage. At either side at the port (left) and starboard (right) anchors, and the prow of the ship.
Gun Deck
There are ten more canons on this deck, and it also serves as the ship's auxilliary cargo hold and galley. The main cargo hold is in the belly of the ship, which is not pictured, but accessible via the ladders. The masts and steering gear are also visible extending downwards into the belly of the ship.
Crew Quarters
Crew quarters are two-by-two metres, but at least you have it to yourself. The bed is pushed up against the far wall of the ship, and there is enough space over for a trunk for your meagre posessions, and a little bit of space to walk around in. Odd-numbered rooms are to port, even-numbers are to starboard. There are small social areas at the bow and stern of the ship, if you don't find the galley to your liking. Either of these can be used as a sick bay if needed.
