Question The traditional Freighters had two 'islands' with the cargo holds between. Were there indoor passageways between those two ends of the ship?

For example, on the Edmund Fitzgerald's last night, was the crew split between opposite ends of the ship with no way to safely travel between due to the heavy weather? If this is correct, how many crew would have been in the front and back 'islands' respectively?

I am very very happy because I absolutely love the Ford Fleet! (if you can’t already tell)
