Genuine replica Deck Prisms from the Charles W. Morgan sailing vessel which is berthed at Mystic Seaport. During a major restoration, 1977-1984, it was discovered that several of the original deck prisms on the ship had been cracked and damaged. Molds were taken from the original 19th century prisms and hand-cast replicas were produced to replace the original. Our deck prisms are still hand cast here in the United States.

Each deck prism, brass hanger, and lighted base comes in beautifully designed packaging for gift presentations.
Here's and example below of how one shipbuilder (unknown) bracketed 3 clear glass deck prisms in a 19th century ship, recovered by a New Jersey scuba diver and photographed by TreasureQuest Shoppe in Ocean View, Delaware.
The photo is showing the deck prisms inverted. The flat part ot the brass bracket would be flush with the top deck. The pointed part of the prism would have been directed down into the cabin below, allowing the light to be dispersed by the prisms.
