A window of heavy glass in the deck or side of a ship."<br />Cornell Maritime Press's Encylopedia of Nautical Knowledge says it's "An iron shutter fitted tp clamp against the inside of a port-light in heavy weather."<br />I'm inclined to go with Cornell, and therefore with you. So thanks for putting me straight.<br /><br />John V.John Vigorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215080385571534292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266108914902271629.post-70271932131256075362011-01-24T10:28:16.181-08:002011-01-24T10:28:16.181-08:00Hi
