Its Purpose was to irrigate and lift water From mines and Ship Bilges
Bilgewater is the water which collects in the bilges of a ship, or, by extension, nonsense or silly talking or writing.
The Archimedes screw is used for irrigating crops and liftin water from mines and ship bilges.
In the early days of passenger liners the cheapest tickets were in 'steerage', the lowest deck just above the bilges.
The lowest deck on a multi-decked ship is referred to as the Orlop deck. Below this are the bilges and in some cases double bottom tanks or spaces for ballast.

For several reasons, for instance: * To fill up or empty the ballast tanks. * To supply fuel to the engine. * In the case of a tanker ship: to load and discharge the cargo. * The supply drinking water to the accommodation * The empty the bilges (system for draining the unwanted water falling in the holds or other parts of the ship).
