Portholes are an important part of a ship’s construction, allowing both air and light to pass into the inner areas below deck. Through the use of a hinge and lock-down screws, crew members were able to open portholes in good weather, while still having the ability to close the porthole and create a watertight seal that kept stormy weather out.
