The hull of a ship is dotted with dozens of small windows called portholes; these windows provide air flow and light. In the history of ships it has long been told of the dark, dampened places below deck. Portholes gave a scenic view of the sea and provided crew and passengers alike with fresh air, all the while maintaining protection against the elements during rough weather.
