Porthole Cabinet

* Porthole and Notary Cabinets.
* US yachtsmen (the Morgans, Vanderbilts, Roosevelts.) visiting the Royal Yacht squadron clubhouse at Cowes, England were surprised at the lack of locker rooms, showers and docks.
* Even a bar was absent.
* In contrast the cabins and staterooms of the visiting American yachts were resplendent with grandeur.
* Fine interior upholstery and cabinetwork were de rigueur.
* Cowes was an enchanted world, shining by day with brass, polished precious woods and the flash of oars.
* Visitors and club members danced by night on polished teak decks, sleeping between silk in beautifully appointed cabins, enjoying fireworks and fine cuisine.
* Two beautiful cabin cabinets, one with large porthole windows, and one with fold-out drawer-fronts, are ideal for bankers, navigators, presidents and authors.
* As well as armchair sailors.
