Ship Salvage:
GRATES, HATCH COVERS & deck flooring The hatch covers (aka hatch boards or beams) we salvage are typically solid slabs of wood
with metal bands around each end and strips across a shallow indentation
where cargo hooks - or hands - could pick them up. They were used to
cover holds on a ship
and were manually set and removed in the days before hydraulic and mechanical metal
hatches came about. |

(reference photo credit: Merchant Ships: A Pictoral Study, rev.2nd edition. pg 275) Above, the Quartermaster stands watch atop a ship's grate. Salvaged grates were used as flooring on board ships or to cover holds or hatches. Many pieces were custom fitted around instruments or built-in structures on the vessel, hence the various shapes. These make "great" coffee tables, hanging pot racks, headboards, or simply stand-alone art. |

(reference photo credit: Merchant Ships: A Pictoral Study, rev.2nd edition. pg 201) Hatch boards, aka hatch covers or beams, were thick slabs of wood used to cover holds (openings) in the decks of ships where cargo was stored. Modern hatches are typically mechanically operated large metal covers and no longer need to be moved by hand. |
