Captain's Cabin
Three views of the Ward Room aboard the LST 325. The ward room is a room aboard a warship where the commissioned officers eat and perhaps spend some of their free time. Currently this space serves many functions. One of which is as a visitor's welcome center aboard the ship.
In this space the stewards could prepare the meals and serve them to the officers in the ward room. All food was prepared in the galley but in this space the food could be placed on the ship's china and served in dinning room fashion. In the first picture, in the lower right hand corner, a sliding door is visible where items could be passed into the ward room.
