A 3D artist's impression of the interior of Rama - Rama contains a strip-like body of water, the Cylindrical Sea, which girdles the cylindrical interior 'surface' of Rama about halfway between the ends. In the center of the Cylindrical Sea is an island of unknown purpose, which the astronauts name 'New York' due to an imagined similarity to Manhattan. The Sea divides Rama into Northern and Southern Hemicylinders; at each end of the ship are North and South 'Poles'. The North 'Pole' is effectively the bow and the South Pole the stern, as Rama is traveling in the direction of the North Pole and its drive system is at the South Pole. The North Pole contains Rama's airlocks, and is where the Endeavour lands; the South Pole contains Rama's drive systems.  Other collections of 'buildings' are found on the 'surface' of the Northern 'Hemisphere', arbitrarily named Rome, Peking, Paris, Moscow, London, and Tokyo.
