foredeck
The forecastle ( (listen) FOHK-səl; contracted as fo'c'sle or fo'c's'le) is the upper deck of a sailing ship forward of the foremast, or, historically, the forward part of a ship with the sailors' living quarters. Related to the latter meaning is the phrase "before the mast" which denotes anything related to ordinary sailors, as opposed to a ship's officers.

The foredeck is the forward part of a ship's main deck. It is located near the bow, which is the front part of the ship. This area is often used for handling sails, ropes, and anchor chains, among other tasks. It can also provide a vantage point for crew members to look out for any potential obstacles, ships, or changes in weather conditions.
