Port hole, complete with glass pane and fastening screw. Marked ‘8’ on hinge. Bronze
Site Area Code Mid-West
Site Location In water c. 1.2 m deep in the shallows inside the reef, to the north of the boiler also inside the shallows (c. 100 m). Port hole was open and folded parallel to the bulkhead it was attached to, the hinged glass pane hidden under the steel bulkhead. The steel rivets had rusted away and the port hole was removed without a problem. Evidence of a red lead putty used to seal the brass to the steel was visible as the port hole came out.
