Cairo's officers slept separately from the enlisted men. Officers' quarters were on the gun deck on either side of the paddle wheel. Here they escaped the heat from the fireroom and boilers.

[Caption]
The captain's quarters were directly behind the paddle wheel. This part of Cairo was lost during the salvage operation.
