In addition, porthole windows also offer a view to the outside and even though they are small, they still offer a sizeable amount of light and sufficient air to pass through. In addition to providing light, porthole windows also relieve a bit of the stuffiness of living in such close quarters by providing some fresh air when they are opened. With these windows, form follows function as they are stylistically appealing as well as serve a very specific function. The distinct design of porthole windows serve an important role aboard any ship or vessel and are much more complex than they seem. Great porthole wall decor and an instant conversation piece. ![]() ![]()
