1:56:33 On the topic of toilets as you said for age of sail ships at the stern of a rated naval ship they would have private ones for the captain and possibly officers, you can see them on the outside of the ship. The fancy extensions like two balconies / Bay windows on both side that extend over the Sea are called the quarter gallery and this is where the captains and other higher ranking officers toilets were located. There was normally just one toilet on one side but they have a quarter gallery on both side to make it symmetrical. Also some larger ships of the period at the front of the ship they had roundhouses (you can see them at the front of HMS Victory) more private and out of the elements for the officers. Hopefully I have explained that well enough so people get what I'm on about. But in short the higher ranks in the age of sail got the fanciest Portaloos / Porta-potties known to man.
