What Are Portholes and Why Are They Important on Ships?

Portholes are small windows or openings in the hull of a ship that provide access to the outside of the vessel. They are typically found in the lower parts of the hull, such as the engine room or cargo holds, and are used for maintenance, inspection, and other purposes. Portholes can be round, square, or rectangular in shape, and may be covered with a watertight door or hatch to prevent water from entering the ship when the porthole is not in use.
