Abstract: A bulkhead structure for partitioning a deck comprises a bulkhead panel for partitioning the deck. The bulkhead panel has an elongated slot therein. A base member is affixed to the deck and received within the elongated slot for supporting the bulkhead panel. Corrosion prevention apparatus between the bulkhead panel and the base member inhibits corrosion of the bulkhead structure.

Abstract: A bulkhead construction for partitioning a deck comprises a lower panel member having an L-shaped portion affixed to the deck. An upper panel member has an L-shaped portion interfitting in the L-shaped portion of the lower panel whereby the upper panel member is supported by the lower panel member. A plate element for affixing the panel members to each other is fastened to the upper and lower panel members. A second embodiment of the invention comprises the lower panel member being constituted of a first metal. A base member constituted of a second metal is affixed to the deck for receiving the lower panel member. Polymeric material is disposed between the panel member and the base member to prevent contact of the first and second metals in order that corrosion is substantially prevented.
