I found my next Marine toilet

[Jackdaw]

Not exactly a Jabsco all-plastic disposable head. Check this baby out ! Whatdaya think @Peggie Hall HeadMistress ??

The weight of all that bronze will slow you down Jackdaw. Plus you'll have to polish it! Looks indestructible though.

The weight of all that bronze will slow you down Jackdaw.

Counter point to that is the weight you won't be hauling around because your crew will actually use the head.

Zero-sum game.

 

[Kermit]

Zero-sum game.

Maybe it’s the weight the crew won’t be hauling around. One less thing to think about.

 

[Brian D]

That would look cool in the house bathroom.

Lake sailor. The weight is still there.

 

[thinwater]

That would look cool in the house bathroom.

No kidding!

Negative: As Thinwater says, Jackdaw sails on the Great Lakes and hence has to use a holding tank. It would just be a weight transfer and the only positive my be that the transferred weight would act more like a ballast. LOL

Zero-sum game.

Assuming the waste could be discharged in a no discharge zone, we would need to talk about your crew's dietary habits. They would have to be eh hem, crapping bricks to equal the weight. Of course, bricks could be tossed overboard.

It has a Steam Punk look to it.

Splinter risk in rough seas.

 

[jssailem]

Splinter risk

Varnish lots of Varnish.
Now that would be a good punishment for the slacking crew member... "GO VARNISH THE Sh!TT3r!!!"
But if the slacker was evil could really ruin a cruise... Wet Varnish use at your own risk

Is that the one they say can flush pair of Levi's.

 

[Will Gilmore]

Zero-sum game.

Or there might be a point of diminishing returns, never good in a head.

Splinter risk in rough seas.

Not sure. The seat and lid of that thing had the gloss and finish of a Steinway piano.

The paradox is, that's where you really need non-skid the most, but it's where you want it the least.

I'm 99% certain that what you've found is a meticulously restored A.B. Sands "Sanette" --one of the earliest piston cylinder marine toilets. The attached photo is an ad in a 1930s Motorboating magazine. Wilcox Crittenden bought Sands around 1940. Some of the earliest W-C "Winner" and "Imperial" toilets still have Sands name stamped into the pump.

I'm pretty sure its a Simpson Lawrence - The very nice man the the Barcelona Marine Museum said it was fully restored, and like all S-L heads, they printed their name as the 'target' or drop-zone'. Not a place I'd print MY name!

 

[capta]

Just how important is it to you to have a marine head to leave to your offspring and they to theirs? lol
I would put that or a WC Skipper on this boat in a heartbeat. Bullet proof marine toilets certainly make living aboard much less of a hassle.
