allanyed Posted January 11 Share #32 Posted January 11 The English term (not American) for these pieces are port rigols. These are described on page 190 in Goodwin's the Construction and Fitting of the English Man of War. Another interesting note is the Nelson chequer wherein the outside of the lids were painted black. Under Nelson's influence this became universal in the RN by the end of the 18th century.
