Ot is common knowledge now of how the propulsion was made to get from A-B and of course their skill in navigation with little help from instruments.
However, I have made a lot of research in trying go find the kind of shop that would stow booty, valuable articles. food & water and of course extra clothes for rough or change of weather.

It seems that most vessels were single deck with personal chests that the oarsmen sat on with stowage. But this is of course just like having a Drawer! So not much would be held in there exceptionally rough weather clothes. As if everything was on the single deck there would be no space to prepare for attack nor defend.
