Use of the word "kitchen"

An IP left the following comment in the article:

A ship (or any other vessel) has a galley, not a kitchen. The below is a great explanation for non-seafaring personnel to relate to, but please keep in mind that there is no "kitchen" onboard a vessel.

Sine that's an editorial comment I am copying it here, but I have chosen not to make any change to the text of the article. -- John of Reading (talk) 04:50, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The pollywog/shellback distinction is part of the Order of Neptune; whether a seaman has crossed the equator, and has nothing to do with one's experience or with cooking. Someone could be a ship cook all their life and still be a pollywog. A shellback can be completely ignorant of the kitchen/galley distinction.--Corvus (talk) 14:04, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Safety

Does the galley kitchen have a safety concern 2001:1970:509E:800:883F:C96D:54D0:77C9 (talk) 10:54, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it has. Fire safety. Pl71 (talk) 20:40, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image of SS Afric's galley

If this image is from SS Afric, why Austrian? She was never been Austrian, as far as Wikipedia is correct. At some time Australian, but it was after WWI outbreak. Pl71 (talk) 03:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the image caption is misspelled. Articles in other languages using the image all refer to the "Africa" instead. The Austrian company Österreichischer Lloyd seems to have had two ships named Africa, one of which was active between 1903-1919. I'll go ahead and edit it under that assumption. Note that it was already edited from Africa to Afric as a correction previously. Tredje fyr (talk) 23:21, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
