sea chests
Maritime luggage containers
Sea chests are large, sturdy boxes traditionally used by sailors to store personal belongings during voyages.
Built to withstand shipboard conditions, they served as both storage and seating in cramped quarters.
The term also refers to compartments in a ship's hull that allow seawater intake for cooling engines or ballast systems.
