Friends of the LCI-713,

Thanks for all of your help in finding parts for our ship. We are still looking though. Although we love donated items, If you should happen to find something that’s for sale please let us know. Here’s the current list:

#2 torpedo binnacle

The #2 compass has a card (the face with the compass points) that is 6.75" in diameter.  The #1 compass (which we don't want) had a card 7.5" in diameter.

WWII Berger Fairlead

Photo of a fairlead found at http://www.hystarmarine.com/engine-gear2.html. The housing is a little different than the one on the LCI and I don't know its size. The type of fairlead we want is a "deck mounted balanced head fairlead" . Which specific model was originally installed is still unknown. Berger is now known as Smith Berger and are still in Seattle.  There current inventory suggests that our fairlead would be the size of their current models MD 610 or MD 612.
