At Stanmore (an ex-'fever hospital' where Pa was confined for a while in the 50s) the beds were still plumbed in to the heating system. If FJ is to be confined to the bridge I think you should consider, at the very least, a bleed from the whistle supply to keep him warm (Conoco Europe had funnel locker turned into a 'sauna' by this cunning modification). A lithe steward may not be enough to keep him warm on a cold night (Mrs Major will surely be unavailable on bridge nights).
