COMPREHENSIVE GALLEY.

The Advertiser (Adelaide) Wednesday 25 November, 1903.

The galley and pantry accommodation
has been very carefully designed, so as to
interfere in no way with the comfort of the 
passengers, and to prevent any smell of cooking 
reaching the saloons and staterooms. A special entrance
(which is used during meal hours only) leads by
a passage to the pantry, scullery, butcher's shop,
bakery, and galley. This passage is laid in tiles,
and every arrangement has been made to ensure
cleanliness and thorough ventilation. The galley is
of large dimensions, and is fitted out with complete
cooking apparatus by Messrs. Wilson, of Liverpool, 
sufficiently large to cook for 350 persons.
The cooking apparatus, ovens, charcoal grill, 
specially large steam jacketed stockpockets, cooking
boilers, hot water tanks, potato steamers, steam
press, &c., are provided, and in the pantry pot
presses and closets are arranged, as well as special
boilers and coffee machines. The scullery, baker
and butcher's shops, &c, are all carefully fitted,
and well designed for the purpose they are intended
to fulfill.

  1. Interested in the typical pattern of the tiled floor, 1900s-style. Love these interior views of ships at that time. Good luck to the chefs with that fearsome cooking range.
