View of Foredeck Framing

Top opening in frame A gives access to anchor locker for ventilation, bottom opening for?? maybe extra rode?

Hardware lined up in order are bow cleat, chain pipe and flag holder for pennant.  Most of the hardware is salvaged from a sailboat, hollow bronze, the pennant holder is also bronze, new manufactured by Davey and a souvenir of the 2010 Mystic boat show. 

In the foreground of the pic is the top edge of the cabin
