Bluenose I - YuanQuin 1:72 - Loracs (in progress)

Unclear about the forecastle deck: The first picture is from the documentation showing the forecastle deck. However, I just can't seem to see it in any of the plans for the Bluenose I or II? I'm including a picture from the saga below too. All I'm seeing is a deck quite far down, almost at the waterline. Am I missing something or is the deck outlined in the kit just.... kit specific?

Happy new year all!

I supposed that it was there interpretation for the basement for all the uprights.
I have never found pictures or detailed drawings of the construction of that area. Only different interpretations by Jenson, Eisnor, Lankford and Chapelle.

Greeting all, thanks for the comments. Looking back at several log/posts, I see that this was indeed discussed before. It is reassuring to see that I'm not just missing something, but that this is an area that the kit developer may have taken some freedom in design. This makes sense since they did not intent to represent the interior at all. Good to know though, I will take this in account and do more dry fitting to see how I would implement this area.
