Obviously these sea chests (not seamen&#039;s chests) didn&#039;t have to be in the water all the time, like the ships did. But they did have to be in good condition to hold the equipment to look after the rigging.</p><p><br /></p><p>We seem to be talking about two different kinds of chests here. One is the chest of the type Aqui has, which was part of the ship&#039;s outfit.</p><p>Somehow it got confused with the second type, the much more plain one the sailors had in their possession.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
