Joined to the veranda-like upper deck, the heavily sloped bulkhead supports the frame of the foredeck above. Large empty casks stained with wine are lashed together with frayed rope to either side of a large door leading into the forward rooms. Flanking it on either side are oddly leaning steps, offering a precarious way up.
