The Fascinating History of Cookhouses on Ships
A cookhouse, also known as a cook room or galley, is a kitchen or food preparation area on a ship or other type of vessel. It is where the ship's crew prepares and cooks meals for the passengers and crew. The term "cookhouse" is derived from the Old English word "coc" meaning "kitchen" and "house" meaning "building".
In modern times, the term "cookhouse" is not commonly used and has been replaced by more modern terms such as "galley" or "kitchen". However, it is still used in some contexts to refer to a ship's kitchen or food preparation area.
