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 :-) PDW |
