Porthole?? Or??

[ShawanoDiver]

This is something I found last summer that i think may be part of a porthole?? I kind of just passed by it and didn't think much of it until I was out of the water. Not sure if it was brass or not..

Looks like a porthole but it could be the head can't tell the size.

Yea that is definitely a porthole. The hinge and the placing of rivets is that of a porthole.

guarantee you its a porthole. Take two wrenches one to loosen the bolts one to holf from turning. Keep the bolt and nuts. They are a good part for displaying when recovered. Watch who you tell the ship might be protected.

Strange thing about it is there's nothing else around it. No other debris or anything whatsoever

It looks like someone else already did the hard part of removing it from the wreck and then lost it.

it's so shallow I doubt it came off a wreck. I thought maybe it came off some old boat when they were stripping it down and then towed the hull out somewhere and sank it.

Did you locate it in Green Bay or somewhere else? That's not the usual color of the lake water plus the lack of zebra mussels. Next time you run across it nab it. They are easily restored.

It's actually in a river

The may have been so broken up or lost in a fire. It may have been tumbled down river from the original wreck site by the current. If it is from the ships head, they must have had a pretty deadly bean burrito night to require fittings like that....

Nice find. I hope you can locate it again.
