    Canvas companionway/hatch cover

    For the extra cost of getting one made you could purchase a sewing machine that would do the job. Then you can use it for other stuff after.

    D-Day historian hunts for secret Taunton and Bath chart makers

    My father was a landing craft comander as well. Not sure of the date he landed. So he would have used the charts as well. I have never given the amount of charts needed for the landings before.
