You have got to be kidding me.
It has been brought to my attention that the ark didn't have a deck, and if it flipped no one would fall out.
I can see the people, gathered around tiny cracks between the boards, surrounded by wild animals and all their stinking filth, gasping for fresh air.
Surely this isnt the case!

“You will make a tso′har [roof; or, window] for the ark,” Noah was told. (Ge 6:16) Just what this was or how it was constructed is not altogether clear. Some scholars think tso′har is related to light and so they translate it “window” (KJ, Mo), “light” (AS, JP), “a place for light” (Ro). Others, however, associate tso′har with a later Arabic root meaning “back (of the hand),” “back (of a beast),” “deck (of a ship),” that is, the part away from the ground or water, and for this reason translate it “roof.” (AT, RS, JB) This tso′har, Noah was told, was to be completed “to the extent of a cubit upward.”—Ge 6:16.
It could be, therefore, that the tso′har provided for adequate light and ventilation, not just a single cubit-square “peephole,” but an opening a cubit in height near the roof and extending around the four sides to give an opening of nearly 140 sq m (1,500 sq ft). On the other hand, while still allowing an ample opening for ventilation under the roof or elsewhere, the roof could have had slightly angled sides.

Many people believe the ark had a row of windows just under the roof-line.
16 Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top.
Also, Noah was able to send forth the dove and the raven after the rains stopped.
6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.

it had a roof
it had windows for venitllasion
it had 1 door
It was very stable and many modern ships are made with the same or similar ratios of shape A recent study by Korean nautical scientists recommended supertankers to be designed with the same ratios to lessen problems.
remarkable for the Jewish people who never had a navy The information scientist Werner Gitt did a study showing it was optimal for the combination of stability and efficiency to build
The ark of Gilgemesh is a cube and would "roll around the ocean like a volleyball" (according to Information Scientist Werner Gitt) The ark of Gilgemish is a corruption of the accurate story of Genesis and the cultural memories of the global flood are carried over in at least 157 cultures around the world who each capture several element of the Genesis account

No, the Ark was actually a submarine given to Noah by extraterrestrials. It had no deck or windows, but it had a completely enclosed air circulation and filtration system. It was also powered by nuclear fusion.

UFO, this is why I love ark questions.
The rabbit hole goes very deep. Ask one question you get 12 kooky answers that open up another set of questions.

The ark is pure fiction. The scientific evidence from half a dozen different sources (any one of which would suffice) shows conclusively that no such flood ever occurred.

One top window, box shaped with three levels in it. The door was used as a ramp for each level. The box shape keeps it from tipping over easily.

It's assine for anyone to believe the Ark never existed when we found it it burried in ice. It was near the top of a mountain if I remember correctly but they proved it was Noah's Ark a long time ago, probably in the late 70s or early 80s.
Stop trolling. I reported you and downvoted you.

Deck, no.
Windows, yes.
the ratio of width, length, and height is the most stable design a boat can be designed with.
this ratio is still being used today.
The ark was not not designed to go any where.
just float.
