All chests also had flat bottoms, some had skirts and some did not, to easily move them on deck. Many of these chests had the classic slanted sides where the bottom of the chest was wider than the top to help keep a low center of gravity on a pitching and rolling deck.</i>&quot;</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
