This picture doesn't do it justice.

These are the stairs up to the Officers Accommodation on the ship I work on. Built in Britain.

It's almost as if halfway through installation someone thought about changing it to spiral staircase and then gave up.
(I do agree that they look like stairs 'down from' rather than 'up to' wink )
I thought many ship stairwells are designed to be able to go 'up' if the vessel has capsized. Hence why it looks down...
Apart from being on the piss, these are magic stairs that go both ways.
I meant, as you well know hehe, the same pitch regardless of which way up/down the vessel is.
Obviously the relative angle of the stair line to the associated landings would be the same whatever happened, but exactly how would you use that stair if the ship was upside down?

Oh, and that is clearly a stair going down, unless one is going up it.
Its stairs going down at that angle surely? otherwise there is a sliding door on the roof at the top? and the bit to the left looks wrong

That's what I am saying. The photo is taken from the top of the flight, looking down. were the photo taken from the bottom, they would be going up.

It doesn't really. But just imagine you are in a staircase maelstrom. Your sub-conscious may well trawl back to this thread and some spark of realisation save you from the zombie Mumsnet trolls. Possibly.

My neighbour had new fencing and gates.

How can anyone stand back from those, look at the mismatched height and gap, and think "yep, I've done a good job there"
