I had a somewhat similar experience - we visited an actual whaler moored on the CT coast - and went below decks - the crew bunks were barely 5' long and you had to slide in & out sideways - the bunks looked like those shelf-drawers you see in the high end haberdashery shops.
[And I'm not even mentioning the smell once you've slid in & your brain tells you that you're trapped!]
