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.
