GrandpaPhil Posted September 4, 2021 #1 Posted September 4, 2021 On the stern part of the quarterdeck on Victory sat two chart cabinets. They look like sets of cubbies for the navigational charts to sit in. I’m getting ready to make them for my Victory. Ordinarily they sit against the transom. These pictures are how I learned that they are not part of the ship’s structure, although they are shown in my AOTS. Would the cubbies have been covered while under way? I would think so, because weather would not be good for the charts.

popeye2sea Posted September 4, 2021 #2 Posted September 4, 2021 May not have been for charts. Could be for flags. Regards, Keith Black, GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler ! Current Build: Le Soleil Royal Completed Build: Amerigo Vespucci
