shiproom (uncountable)

  1. Storage space on a ship.
    • 1961, Lois Mitchison, The overseas Chinese:
      Sometimes the boats ran out of drinking water and food on the journey, and for most emigrants a coffin-shaped space between other bunks or a small square on deck was all the shiproom they had for themselves and the bundle of luggage they took with them to their new lives.
