Whether it be one a Nautical Coffee Table, Nautical Table, Nautical Bench or Pew, or a Nautical Desk made from restored 60 year old WW2 Liberty Ship Hatch Wooden Hatch Covers you will be very pleased with both the quality and durability of this nautical furniture to add to your nautical decor. The above photo's show the nautical table/desk along with 2 other companion pieces - the bench and the pew, both made from the planks of WW2 Liberty Ship Hatch Covers. Sometimes we get these hatch covers where all we can salvage is one or two planks. As you know these hatch covers sailed the world over on our Merchant Marine Fleet of Liberty and Victory Ships during WW2 and afterwards some were decommissioned and put into what was called the "Moth Ball Fleets" stragetically placed around the country. Other Liberty Ships were sold to private shipping companies and given or sold to other countries where they saw service up until the 1960's. So as you can see these hatch covers have plenty of wear and tear from the oceans and seas they sailed upon.

The Pirate's Lair Exclusive!
We all romanticize about the mystique of these antique trunks. The possible owners and travels that each steamer trunk has taken, along with the high level of detailed craftsmanship in the original production of each and every steamer trunk with that individualized character giving both intrinsic and non-intrinsic value.

However the truth of the matter is that the majority of these trunks were made towards the middle to end of the 19th century just at the dawning of the industrial revolution here in America when there were no child labor laws or protections. This rare photo clearly illustrates at least 3 generations of owners and workers, ages appearing to range from pre-teen/adolescent, teens/early adult, through middle to old age!
It was a common practice that loyal and productive craftsmen would be allowed to bring their children to work with them to learn a craft, so many of the children in this photograph were more than likely sons of the men shown.

Note the adolescent factory workers on top row! Note that there are no women in the photo! This is due to the fact that at that time "proper" women did not work outside of the home, certainly not in a factory. Everybody appears to look pretty stern, having on their arms crossed and "work" faces put on.
