At sea or on land, sailors love to stow their belongings in our finest-kind Captain's Sea Chest, a replica of a genuine 1840 original, built for seagoing.

The ADRIANCE CAPTAIN’S SEA CHEST features beautiful matched-grain, wide cherry boards hand-dovetailed at the corners for strength, as on 19th century sea chests.

The front and back are slanted with classic tumblehome ends, effecting a low center of gravity, for carrying on a ship’s pitching deck.

A handsome bullnose moulding is tenoned into the lid to protect and prevent warpage.

A beveled base moulding surrounds a rift pine ship-lapped bottom with oak dragging skids, secured with bronze screws.

Two holly, nautical, five-point stars are smartly inlaid into the front of the sea chest.

Traditional marlinespike seamanship is evident in the hand-knotted rope beckets, featuring coach-whipped bails, turk's heads, needle hitching and pinked leather washers.

Tapered cleats with hand-carved starwheels secure the rope beckets to the tumblehome ends above the centerline, providing a gimbaled counterbalance when hoisting.

Hand-finished with water-resistant marine varnish and waxed to a satin patina.

We are honored to have handmade authentic sea chests for many Navy personnel.

Built to last for seagoing, an Adriance Sea Chest will be treasured by you and generations to come. Learn More
