Furnace room, английский
The engineering compartment in which the boilers of a steam-powered ship are located, along with the furnaces that heat them. so long as ships were coal-fired the stokers and trimmers had a filthy job in appalling conditions—badly lighted and noisy; intensely hot (around 45°c/112°f); smelling of steam, burning sulfurous coal, and human sweat— physically manhandling tons of dusty coal from the bunkers to the furnace doors and shoveling white hot ash and clinker away from the grates—all the while standing on a heaving, pitching, swaying, and rolling deck.
