Water Tight Hatches Keep Closed At Sea

Water tight, meaning ‘leak proof.’

:  :  :

Here,

on board a fishing boat tied up at Seattle’s Fishermens Terminal,

an instruction is painted on a hatch or doorway

which gives access to the bridge.

:  :  :

It says,

‘WATER TIGHT HATCHES KEEP CLOSED AT SEA.’

When I finished reading this concise instructional sentence,

my reaction was

Duh???, no kidding!’

:  :  :

It just seemed obvious to me

that hatches on ocean going vessels should be kept closed

and or latched while under way.

What do you think?

I am away at a ministry conference this weekend,

I’ll be a bit tardy in visiting everyone’s post.

  1. We do need signs no matter how obvious they are, such as when McDonald serves hot coffee and then got sue for it because someone drank it while it was too hot..

    It looks like a huge ship and a great shot Madge!

  2. I looked at the photo and read the instructions and my first thought was as the same as yours – duh!
    Love your framing as always and that sky reflection in the window!
    Have a blissful weekend and enjoy your conference!

  3. We are innundated by signs but, why is it so many don’t understand the simpliest one. The one sign I’d like to do away with…Right Turn On Red. OK, make the turn on red when there is NO traffic. People (at least around here) feel they need to make that right turn even when there is bumper to bumper traffic and then they are just adding to the congestion. Sorry for venting! Just got carried away with that sign. And love the ‘Titanic’ comment…you will never find me on a cruise ship! Excellent shot!
