Boat Deck Equipment
Hello Everyone: I'm totally blocked on this. It's from a description for boat deck equipment - "Treppen, Leitern, Steigeisen und Flurböden". I'm pretty sure that I'm visualizing the right thing: some kind of metal rods (step irons?) portruding from the ship's superstructure/hull to enable people to climb up/down. As you can see, I already need the 'ladder' and will need 'handrail' somewhere else. Any ideas? Thank you for your suggestions!
