Commentaires : | A piggin is a pail " generally made of wood " used to bail bilge water from boats. Bilge water collected in the dell: a small well hole in the floor of the boat. This piggin was likely manufactured in Winterton by a local cooper, and would have been amongst the smallest barrels he made. |
Fonctions : | This piggin was used by Marcus French of Winterton to bail bilge water from his boat in the mid-twentieth century. |
