Kimbul

Kimbul adalah geladak yang berdinding tipis selebar kapal di atas geladak utama yang berada di bagian buritan (bagian belakang kapal).^[1] Pada geladak utama biasanya dibuat lubang palka beserta penutupnya untuk keluar masuknya barang muatan kapal ke dan dari dalam palka.

Bahasa Inggris dari kimbul adalah "poop". Kata tersebut berasal dari kata dari Bahasa Prancis untuk "geladak", "la poupe"; yang diambil dari Bahasa Latin "puppis" yang berarti "dek belakang" atau "belakang".^[2] Pada kapal-kapal modern, fungsi-fungsi kapal yang berhubungan dengan kimbul telah dipindahkan ke anjungan dan biasanya terletak di superstruktur.

Located at the stern, this short deck takes its name from the Latin word puppis – which means after deck or rear. Guns were rarely carried on this deck. It was mainly used as a viewpoint and signalling platform. The poop deck also gave protection to the men at the wheel and provided a roof for the captain's cabin. The ropes controlling the yards (spars) and sails of the main and mizzen masts were operated from the poop deck.
