Solid Brass Chief Lantern
The classic
maritime ship's lantern used on sailing ships for hundreds of years.
Our Chief Lantern is hand machined in heavy-gauge brass. The
glass panes are protected by a cage of heavy brass wire bars
with a front opening door. This makes changing the light
bulb -OR- lighting the oil burner easier than many other
bottom loading lanterns.
The Chief Lantern is named
for it's use. The "Chief" of the boat would own and
maintain a higher quality lantern to be lit during the
evening hours. Generally a well constructed brass or copper
lantern that burned would burn oil for many hours before
needing to be refilled. Whale oil being the fuel of
preference.
Our Chief's Lantern is
very well made and will add the charm and nostalgia of the
era of tall ships and high seas adventure to any nautical or
home setting.
