The Victory doesn't have a poop deck. It was mostly a 1600s feature that went out of style in the mid 1700s.
[correction]. Victory did have a poop deck. She didn't have a royal poop deck. It was royal poop deck that went out of style in 1750s. Brain fart.
So, in fact, that would be the prime location to take a poop.
