When you put wired headphones into your pocket for 0.4 seconds.
This is a ship's 'chain locker,' for anchor chain stowage.
EDIT: I sit corrected. This is not a working chain locker. Someone with knowledge weighs into the thread. See above. Or below. It's in here somewhere.
And is super dangerous as the conversation of iron to rust tends to consume the oxygen inside and makes the air unbreathable. This has killed a lot of people.
Wow. So in addition to the size, like one link being enough to smash you like a bug... This landlubber was not aware of that.
The remarkably good condition of equipment that lives in such an environment and gets regularly dipped in seawater was noted, however.
This looks more like a shipment of rigging.
There is a lot of clean chains there.
It looks like every piece has additional rigging to make it easy to crane out.
There are also a lot of shackles. I wouldn't expect a ship's anchor chain to have shackles, and I wouldn't expect them to be stored with the chain.
There are also spreader plates (or multi-blocks) in there.I would expect a chain locker to only have 1 kind of chain in it.
I'd also expect it to be less.... Tangled looking? At least a little more uniform as the chain gets put in.Thank you for the insight.
This was represented as a chain locker where I appropriated it. I saw the shackles, but not knowing the first thing about maritime operations, stuck with what I read.
You think this is a cargo hold?
Gettin some Star Wars vibes here.
SHUT DOWN ALL THE GARBAGE MASHERS ON THE DETENTION LEVEL!!!
