^ Seems Jim got it, but why are toilets or their seats called "heads"

Quote:

Why is a Ship's Toilet Called a "Head"?
The crew's toilet area in a sailing ship would be in the head area or the bow of the ship

<pirate>
Yarr, that be the "front" to ye land-dwellers.
</pirate>
To go to the head of a ship meant to go to the area where the toilet is located.

The toilets were placed there because ships were powered by wind, and since sailing vessels can not sail directly into the wind, this placed the toilets downwind most of the time.

Now, with various forms of engine power plus holding tanks and manual or powered pumps, the "head" can be anywhere. But the name stuck.

The term poop deck has nothing at all to do with this! That term comes from poupe, the French word for the stern (rear) of a boat or ship. The French word poupe comes from the Old Provençal or Italian word poppe, which in turn comes from the Latin puppis.

@ Catfish: "the head" is a maritime term for the crapper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(watercraft)
