The USS Constitution had a crew of around 400+, and I was wondering...how many heads did she have, some were in the bowsprti so the sea would keep them reasonably clean, but for 400 men, how many and location? Just wondering, I don't know where that idea popped up from!

When I remember correctly, the HMS Victory with 800 seamen on board had 6 seats of ease for the normal crew - the officers had round houses or the quarter galleries at the stern
