Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Bulkheads

👉 A bulkhead is a type of structural element used in shipbuilding to prevent leakage or flooding between two adjacent compartments. It is typically made of metal and designed to be watertight, so that water can't enter the compartment below it without entering through an opening at the top of the bulkhead. These elements are often found on the deck of ships, including cargo holds, amidships, and in the bow of vessels.
