The structural wall in the interior of the ship
the insulated partition between the engine and the passenger compartment.
(1) A structure separating land and water areas, primarily designed to resist earth pressures. (2) A structure or partition to retain or prevent sliding of the land. A secondary purpose is to protect the upland against damage from WAVE action.

a partition or wall in the hull of a ship.
partition across the boat. If you're building a boat to your own design you may want to set up some bulkheads at an early stage to define the boat's shape. A bulkhead near the mast will stop the boat from distorting under stress from the wind

1. Upright partition dividing compartments on board a vessel. The functions of bulkheads are: o To increase the safety of a vessel by dividing it into compartments. o To separate the engine room from the cargo holds. o To increase the transverse strength of a vessel. o To reduce the risk of spreading fire to other compartments. 2. A vertically mounted board to provide front wall protection against shifting cargo and commonly seen on platform trailers (road cargo). 3. A partition in a container, providing a plenum chamber and/or air passage for either return or supply air. It may be an integral part of the appliance or a separate construction. 4. A vertically mounted wall separating the fore respectively aft compartment from the rest of the aircraft (air cargo).
A partition below decks, commonly used to reinforce the hull.
nautical equivalent of wall
partition; retaining wall.
A term applied to the vertical partition walls which divide the interior of a ship into compartments or rooms. The various types of bulkheads are distinguished by their location, use, kind of material or method of fabrication, such as forepeak, longitudinal, transverse, watertight, wire mesh, pilaster, etc. Bulkheads which contribute to the strength of a vessel are called strength bulkheads, those which are essential to the watertight subdivision are watertight or oiltight bulkheads, and gastight bulkheads serve to prevent the passage of gas or fumes.
A structure used to protect against damage caused by shifting cargo and/or to separate loads. A name given to any vertical partition which separates different compartments or spaces from one another, such as on a ship or in a tank.
A movable partition permanently installed that is used to secure the lading. See Compartmentalized Car.
A bulkhead is an upright wall within the hull of a ship. Bulkheads in a ship serve several purposes: They increase the structural rigidity of the vessel, divide functional areas into rooms and create watertight compartments that can contain water in the case of a hull breach or other leak. When equipped with purpose-designed fireproofing, bulkheads and decks are able to achieve fire-resistance ratings in an effort to achieve compartmentalisation, which is a passive fire protection measure, subject to stringent bounding.
