<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 2705844, member: 5066&quot;]Yeah, THAT is the problem I see with this &quot;sea chest&quot; business, it LOOKS too good to be correct.</p><p>Not that I know anything about it, I do not! And I don&#039;t wanna be the killjoy here but, I sense issues with the entire sea chest, pirate chest, treasure chest, etc. thingy.</p><p>First off, sailing ships in the 18th - 19th centuries were very SMALL.</p><p>They crammed a lot of men on these ships, whether warships, merchant or pirate.</p><p>Space is the most precious commodity in that world at that time.</p><p>The notion that they had space to store personal wood chests in that environment is pretty far out there. The ship doctor &amp; captain yes, but the men? a canvas duffel bag seems much more likely, I doubt wood chests. It&#039;s just not reasonable.</p><p>I could be ALL WRONG about this! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie32" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
