3. n. An apartment in a ship for officers or passengers. In passenger-steamers the cabin is divided into state-rooms, or the private rooms of the passengers, and an apartment (sometimes more than one) for the use of all, called the saloon, generally used as a dining-room. In an ordinary merchant vessel the cabin is the apartment occupied by the master of the vessel. In a man-of-war it is the apartment used by the commanding officer, or the officer commanding the squadron, the apartments of the other officers being called the ward-room and (of the petty officers) the steerage. In Great Britain the word cabin, when applied to the private apartment of an officer or a passenger, is synonymous with state-room as used in the United States.
