Part of a ship.
Not much context as it features in a list:
"Timonerie et pont passerelle".
Does anyone know whether this is a flybridge or a deck bridge or something entirely different?
Thanks for your help.

flybridge/flying bridge
I strongly suspect you are right since the glossary below defines flying bridge in French as "passerelle supérieure", and Chambers defines flying bridge as "the highest bridge of a ship". If you try a Google search for "wheelhouse [timonerie] + flying bridge" together you will find numerous hits giving lists of parts of ships (see below), which also leads me to suspect it is correct.

: I don't know if you've researched this term, but it certainly doesn't sound familiar to me, nor, indeed, does it sound 'right' // Fair enough, you know better than me, then! :-)
