How did Ships Keep Warm?

I’ve been watching the TV Show The Terror, and I was curious as to how ships in that era (1800s) were able to keep warm or at least insulated against extreme temperatures.

One, they dealt with it as much as possible. Sailors were often cold in the cold, they wore layers and moved around just like anyone working outdoors today. 

Two, the heat from the sailors and fire would heat the ship. This second point was obviously something to be careful about, but you gotta cook and you don’t want to freeze to death, so there would be stoves for those purposes.
