The “monkey island” is a deck at the most accessible height on a ship, directly above the navigating bridge. It is also called the ship’s upper bridge or flying bridge on top of a pilothouse or chart house. In earlier times, Monkey Island was located about 3/4th way up the main mast on a few ships and sailors used it for solar and stellar observations.
