In naval architecture, a poop deck is a deck that constitutes the roof of a poop cabin built in the aft (rear) part of t == he superstructure of a ship. The name originates from the Latin puppis, or the elevated stern deck.

In sailing ships, with the steerage at the stern, an elevated position was ideal for both navigation and observation of the crew.

The picture shows the stern of the ship. The deck out of view above the aftercabin is the poop deck. Despite similarity of the words, this has nothing to do with slang terms for defecation, which is performed using the ship's head.
