Look inside an OLYMPIA sailor's ditty box


Nearly every OLYMPIA sailor kept his personal possessions in a wooden container known as a ditty box.

Among other items, the ditty box seen here contains eating utensils, a comb, a bar of soap, a small journal, a straight razor and dice for playing games.
