My knowledge of sailing ships is limited to little more than what I
learned from reading _The Voyage of the Dawn Treader_ .

I've some simple questions: I've tried googling but realised I don't
even know what to google for to get some of the answers.

I'm offline, so must suggest a goggle for the National Maritime
Museum plus words like "sloop", "ketch" and "yacht", especially
the Dutch ancestors of the latter.

For'ard would be a good place for the galley in a sail boat: so
long as the vessel isn't becalmed or in harbour, the wind would
blow smells (and flames, in the even of fire) into open water.
