Since I began diving I have always been on the lookout for a brass porthole.  Don't know why, just always wanted one.

Anyway it suddenly occurred to me the other day, that there are many stories of people recovering portholes (especially in the easy to get to depths) and subsequently there is probably not too many around.  

However I have yet to hear of anyone recovering a Starboardhole     Now I reckon there must be loads just waiting to be recovered,   I would expect most ships to have as many starboardholes as portholes.  

So is this a flyer,  maybe a whole new niche in the market

Don’t be silly they ran out of starboard holes in the late 70's that’s why we are all after Port holes. Mind you they are in pretty short supply so I would start looking for Bow Holes. I often see these abbreviated as Bow’els and they are obviously deeper down on the wrecks as they are usually referred to as:

deep in the ships bowels

So obviously the ships bow holes are found on the deepest part of the wrecks.

Sooooooooooo

If any body sees me with my computer arm stuck in the mud under the ship, I am not a sad git attempting to log the maximum available depth for the dive, I am quite obviously looking for a Bow Hole &nbsp;

WARNING: Inserting your arm into a bow hole may be illegal in some parts of the British Isles. Mind you I am reasonably confident its OK in Wales

Wow cracking idea starboard holes. &nbsp;Been looking through my boys annual of shipping though and cant see where a starboard hole would be on a boat. If they are in short supply it sounds a real good business deal for me to invest into. mail me details. &nbsp;

Looking to invest heavily once the $30m my Nigerean mate has offered to send to me finally arrives. &nbsp;Seems to be taking a while though, but guess just have to wait a few more days.

what's the going rate for bringing up a WWII toilet - do I get as many points as for a starboardhole?
