The area below the deck is very cramped and small.  The area here is a
bit cleaner than the rest of the area that you have seen, but also not as
brightly lit.  Towards the north, the Captain's quarters and dining area are
situated, explaining why this area is cleaner.  Down here you can't really
feel the swaying of the ship making the voyage easier to handle, but the
feel of claustrophobia still awaits to consume you.  All around you are
benches that have been placed to provide seating while you wait out your
voyage.  
A filthy rat squeaks here, gathering crumbs it finds on the floor.
