Brass Porthole Salvaged From Shipwreck at Low Tide

[UnderMiner]

Exploring a rarely-explored and dangerous section of the city's abandoned waterfront at low tide. Found an old wreck that has been on the rocks so long its hull was completely rusted away. Noticed the portholes were still in place, one was still firmly secure but another one was just on the verge of falling out, so I pulled it and it poped out in my hand. Brought it home and it cleaned up nicely. It doesn't have glass but it is the kind of porthole that can accept new glass.







This is the other porthole that is still stuck. I can probably get it out with a hammer and chisel next time.

That is actually pretty valuable, just look up the prices of new bronze portholes.

Hey... realize... you just scored.

DO NOT CLEAN IT> !

IF you want I will throw you a "bone" on a "partial restoration" that will make that thing super cool and desirable.
