Default Picture of pt boat hatches

Does anyone know of pictures of pt 103 class hatches, I am building one by dumas for the 48" pt, but noticed in a video that on the particular pt (don't no the class) one of the hatches was raised, I guess to keep the water out. Any place to find pictures would help out, Thanks, Randy.

There were / are several shapes & sizes for different uses. Round or rectangular. My book of actual photos shows the Higgins with square hatches in the bow that are clear of the deck by 6" to 8" .

Elco's are almost on the decks. Just high enough to get the " dogs " to clear when tight.

I can post the pictures if needed.
