This passageway contains the eight staterooms where the KIDD's officers lived, two or three to a compartment, depending upon seniority. Politely called "staterooms," these cabins functioned as sleeping quarters, lounges, and offices. Based on appearances, the officers had much better living arrangements than the men one deck.
The last compartment on the starboard side belonged to the Executive Officer or XO. He was the second in command aboard the ship. The XO reported directly to the Commanding Officer and was responsible for all administrative duties, as well as keeping the ship running smoothly.
