This fitting could doubtless be improved. It is difficult to tell if all fittings of the same size/function
would be of the exact same design. Mounting hardware has been omitted.
I omitted them for simplicity and since I did not know a good notion of their design.
The one on the port of the ship should have red glass, and green to starboard.
I think the lamps would be of brass, and the rest of steel. I am not at all sure of whether there should be a
steel plate at the back face (toward the stern), or over the top (to preserve night vision of the bridge crew
and allow access to the lamp). I guessed not.
Changes
Feb 2, 2001
Modified to add a rear plate so it is not visible from astern. Thanks to John Kohnen for pointing this defect out.
