Orlop deck
Lowest deck of a ship
The orlop is the lowest deck in a ship (except for very old ships), immediately above the hold. It is the deck or part of a deck where the cables are stowed, usually below the water line.[1]
The word derives from the Dutch overloop from the verb overlopen ("to run over, extend").[2]
