identifying a porthole
Hello all, I know it’s a long shot but maybe someone can help identifying this porthole.

I took it out from a wreck sunk around 1920 ~1930 , since its in shallow water only fragment's left of the wreck and two steam boilers…

Based on these pictures, can anyone shed some light on the origin of this porthole or any useful info ?




Thnx
Mark..

looks to me like they were used to let light and air in but I could be wrong.

Answers to the name of Peter, but DNA test may help. Have you asked CSI? CSI Miami Dolphin unit may be best.
