I oughta know. I did two tours there back in the 60s.

Sweet home, Chicago…

Godspeed. I barely knew ya.

If there’s a strain of it that applies to large things that would eat me, I’d believe that I have the phobia.

I sometimes have what’s maybe a primordial reaction to large things. Saw a stuffed polar bear when I was a child. It was supposed to be a record size. I don’t recall exactly, but it was 10 or 11’ tall, stood up on its hind legs.

Now, I knew that it wasn’t alive. But it still unsettled me in a strange and powerful way.

Fear of getting into the wrong part of the food chain, I spoze.

The size of that bird. It would not likely have been a pleasant beast for a human to encounter.

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?

And most efficient; two words.

I’d guarantee that if it doesn’t find the breaker, the only thing left to do is look for fire. :-)))

If history teaches anything, it’s that there’s always one more step availabe on ladders, one more inch from a hose or electric cord, etc. /s

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 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.
