hi! Roy, BOb and Mark.
regarding your previous "mystery hatch" discussion, I wonder if that could be the metal plate visible between the anchors channels on the photo of OLYMPIC foc'sle under construction in the 'oceans liners of the past" book, I do not have the page number but it is shot looking aft, and you can plainly see what looks like a large rectangular opening covered by a metal plate, this was taken before planking was installed.
see ya!
cd.
