Captain's Desk, Black

Details

Captains made good use of notoriously cramped quarters in the ships stern section (deckhands were housed before the mast). The captains desk was tailor made to offer maximum comfort and space in a minimal floor area. Drawers to house the crews papers, sealed sailing instructions, logbooks, charts, instruments and a pair of flintlock pistols. Brass corners to protect from damage when being moved around. Sturdy construction to withstand often violent ships movements. Well-traveled. Sturdily made of cherry and maple. Leather inset top.
