A sailor was taking down the life-line that stretched from the forecastle, past the hatches and cargo-winches, to the bridge-deck ladder. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Yet another two men were on the bridge-deck, steadying a ladder, on the top of which was perched a man for whom the slight pitching of the ship, the insufficient light, and the chilly night wind were proving no deterrent in the execution of his task. ❋ MacLean, Alistair, 1922- (1985)

I was awakened by a tremendous crash on the bridge-deck above my cabin, a heeling over of the ship that nearly dumped me out of my berth, and what seemed like a solid spout of water pouring in through my open weather porthole, with the wind howling a devil's death-song through the rigging and an uninterrupted smash -- bang! above my head. ❋ Edgar Beecher Bronson (N/A)
Throwing on a rain coat over my pajamas, I went outside and up the ladder leading to the bridge-deck; and as head and shoulders rose above the deck level, a wall of hot, wind-borne rain struck me -- rain so hot it felt almost scalding -- that almost swept me off the ladder. ❋ Edgar Beecher Bronson (N/A)

"Now, haul in with a will," glowed the young skipper, as they crept back to the bridge-deck. ❋ Unknown (1895)
He passed it on to the young captain, and, together, they leaped to the bridge-deck with it. ❋ Unknown (1895)
Sheltered from the rain by the bridge-deck and from the spray and gale by heavy canvas lashed athwartship in front of the captain's room, and securely strapped in her reclining-chair, this young lady fairly rejoiced in the magnificent battle with the elements and gloried in the bursting seas. ❋ Charles King (1888)

oira—"battle-control"; aboard Warbird-class and smaller ships this is the same bridge-deck see hwaveyiir as the standard flight-control area, although rigged for combat; but on the larger, Klingon-built Akif and K't'inga-class vessels the word refers to a separate, heavily armored area deep in the command prow. ❋ Diane Duane (2000)
