It's a judge's stand for mermaid water polo matches.

Or maybe a ref's chair for submarine races.

Just east of Hatterus (about 300 miles east) was where the "Tigershark" submarine went down with all hands while playing cat and mouse with a Russian sub and attempting dives that went well beyond the structural allowance of the vessel. Therefore, there must be more than one location for such races. There have been reports of submarine races off the coast of Santa Barbara, California as well. LOL.
Hey, I thought it was good guess.

The seas are always high off cape Hatterus and a lot of salors get sick. Its a drop off spot for sea sick salors. They get picked up on the way back when the seas are not as rough. And thats the truth I wouldn;t lie to you.

Hal,
All you had to say to confirm your usage of this item is that you read it on the internet. We all know that you can't lie on the internet. LOL.
But I did like the idea of a ref's chair for submarine races. Oh well. I tried.
