A chest to keep a sailor's tools and treasures, all his belongings. Serving him as a seat during breaks. With the passing of the Age of Sail came an end to an ancient custom. If not for the interest of today's yachtsmen in this icon of the oceans, they would now seem quaint and strange. Their slanted dovetailed sides are typical, and two carry-handles (beckets in sailor-speak) represent the ultimate in the craft of creating knots. Use it as coffee table or as multipurpose storage bench.
