Alternate Solutions

Alternate Solution 1:

             Starting at the stern end, Alternate Solution 1 has four separate rooms below deck.  The first room is the electronic room for the propellers.  Any issues with the propeller are fixed through that room.  This includes steering issues, propulsion issues, and shortages.  There is an area in the propeller’s electronic room that is used to check the bilge.  One is able to get to the propeller’s electronic room through the engine room.  The engine room has two engines, as well as the electronic control panel for both engines.  The two engines used are diesel.  To get to the engines one can climb through two trap doors above deck, where there are ladders leading to the engines.  Additionally, there is an air conditioner in the engine room, to keep the engines, engine electronics, propeller, and propeller electronics cool.  The air conditioner prevents fires from occurring.  The engine and propeller rooms cannot be accessed through the cabin. 
The cabin is the largest room below deck.  The cabin is accessed through a door above deck, leading to a steep set of stairs.  On the port side of the cabin there is one large table, surrounded by booths. The booths can sit up to twenty-four students.  Above the table, there are five bright lights built into the ceiling.  The table is used for when teachers are lecturing and working in a large discussion group.  Under the table there are storage drawers for student use.  In towards the bow side of the large table there is a storage area.  The storage unit is where the boots, uniforms, and equipment fro the crew is kept.  The fish measuring tools are kept above the storage unit. 
Further to the bow is the head.  In the head there is one toilet, one sink, and one mirror.  In front of the toilet, there is a closet that includes cleaning supplies such as the following: brooms, paper towels, soap, hand sanitizer, a dustbin, a trash bin, and extra toilet paper.  The floor of the bathroom is made of tile. 
On the starboard side of the cabin, there are four identical tables, jutting out from the wall.  The tables each have four stools.  The tables have two outlets.  The outlets are used for microscope and other pieces of electronic equipment.  The tables are made for individual and partner work.  The small tables are used mostly when the students are split above-deck and below deck (commonly during physics and chemistry classes). 
The furthest room towards the bow of the ship is the berthing area.  The berthing area is a requirement by the coast guard station to have in all vessels larger than 65 feet.  On the starboard side of the berthing area there is a kitchen area.  The kitchen area includes a sink, oven, stove, and refrigerator.  On the left side of the stove there is an air conditioner.  The air conditioner cools the cabin and the berthing area.  On the port side of the berthing area there are four beds for crew use during an overnight voyage.  Four lockers line the front of the area for Captain Andrews and the crew to place their belongings.  The lockers also provide an extra place for storage.  In the center of the berthing area there is a table and two benches. 
The main materials used for this design are different kinds of wood, different colors of paint, and vinyl seat fabric.  The wood makes up most of the design.  The booth and the table, as well as the storage unit are made out of wood.  The floor is also hard wood.  Anywhere there is wood will be covered in a polish to help keep the wood maintained.  The head, however, is tile.  The wood is important because wood is easy to clean, and can be repaired simply and at a low-cost.  The vinyl fabric will cover the stools,  Vinyl is used because it is easy to clean, however, it does need to be maintained. The stairs are made out of metal, with grip material to make sure students do not fall or slip in the case of wet shoes.  The paint colors used will vary through shades of beige, blue, and green, in an attempt to match the Sandy Hook scenery.

The cabin is the largest room below deck.  The cabin is accessed through a door above deck, leading to a steep set of stairs.  On the port side of the cabin, there is a set of tables and booths sticking out from the wall.  Above each of the tables is one bright light.  The tables all have one outlet in the middle, for microscope and other electronic equipment use.  Towards the bow of the vessel, behind the last booth, there is a storage unit.  The crew’s boots, uniforms, and equipment are kept in the storage unit. 
Further to the bow is the head.  In the head there is one toilet, one sink, and one mirror.  In front of the toilet, there is a closet that includes cleaning supplies such as the following: brooms, paper towels, soap, hand sanitizer, a dustbin, a trash bin, and extra toilet paper.  The floor of the bathroom is made of tile.

The furthest room towards the bow of the ship is the berthing area.  The berthing area is a requirement by the coast guard station to have in all vessels larger than 65 feet.  On the starboard side of the berthing area there is a kitchen area.  The kitchen area includes a sink, oven, stove, and refrigerator.  On the left side of the stove there is an air conditioner.  The air conditioner cools the cabin and the berthing area.  On the port side of the berthing area there are four beds for crew use during an overnight voyage.  Four lockers line the front of the area for Captain Andrews and the crew to place their belongings.  The lockers also provide an extra place for storage.  In the center of the berthing area there is a table and two benches.

The cabin is the largest room below deck.  The cabin is accessed through a door above deck, leading to a steep set of stairs.  In the center of the cabin, there is one large table.  Surrounding the table there are twenty-four stools.  The purpose of such a large table is to have a focus on group work.  This set-up also allows for students to look at objects in the center of the table. 
On the port and starboard sides of the cabin, desks are set up.  Each desk has an outlet, for microscope and other electronic equipment use.  Two chairs are at each desk.  The desks are used for partner work, especially for cycled work.  On the port side of the cabin, there is an extra area for storage.  This storage unit is located next to the stairs, and holds the crew work vests when students are not using the vessel. 
  Further to the bow is the head.  In the head there is one toilet, one sink, and one mirror.  In front of the toilet, there is a closet that includes cleaning supplies such as the following: brooms, paper towels, soap, hand sanitizer, a dustbin, a trash bin, and extra toilet paper.  The floor of the bathroom is made of tile.

The cabin is the largest room below deck.  The cabin is accessed through a door above deck, leading to a steep set of stairs.  In the center of the cabin, there are two identical tables.  Each table seats fifteen students.  These two tables are used for group work and lecture style teaching.  There are two outlets placed equal distances along the table.  On port side of the cabin, right next to the stairs, there is one storage unit.  The storage unit holds crew-vests, boots, crew uniforms, and other equipment. 
Additionally, on both sides of the cabin, there are two large windows.  Where the portholes would normally be, there are instead long, singular panes of glass.  The continuity of the window gives a better view of the ocean.
