I'm thinking of replacing my Europe style windows with ol fashion port
holes.

Anyone know a source for 13 solid brass military type port holes?
US Navy surplus would be ideal. 16-22 inch with D solid covers, opening
armored glass type.

Good luck. I have 2 and they're not for sale. My father 'acquired' them
sometime after WW2. Too big to put in anything I'll ever build but they
make great doorstops.

FWIW a local foundry casts smaller ones and the castings alone cost
$500 AUD. Even in USD it's still a lotta money.

Local antiques place has 2 rectangular opening ports, no solid covers,
probably 900 x 600, solid bronze, for $600 ea. I've been thinking of
fitting one ot my house in the bathroom.

BTW, the phrase 'silk purse - sow's ear' comes to mind when I picture
your boat with the bronze ports :-)
