Looking for a few assorted sized portholes, in decent or good condition. Also looking for piston and rod- complete from a 567/645, east coast only, cash money.
This reminds me of a documentary I saw. It detailed a small village, although I cant remember where, that you could buy literally anything from a ship on the street market. I wanna say this is somewhere near India but I am not sure. Anyome else know!
I have one collecting dust in the garage. Its brass and complete with dogs- even has the dead light.I’m on the west coast though. Probably cost $100 to ship the damn thing.

Haha…oh yeah, the shipbreakers have everything and anything. Just be mindful of the shipping and handling!
Do a search on eBay. Just beware, it’s that time of year for fraud and ripoffs so your mileage may vary.
If I didn’t burn so many bridges with certain people at MarAd I’d be able to land some real ones.
ESCO in Brownville TX, piles of them, and then will ship.
Ive got a few nice ones already, bells, name boards, my uncle’s collection came to me when he passed, just looking around to see what tasty items are collecting dust in someones garage. Ebay is great, till you open the box and what you bought and what you got are to diffrent things. Alot of junk. I know where there is a capstain off an old single screw tug sitting, if someone really wanted a yard piece.
