Senior Member. As a noun,"scuttle" is usually (but rarely these days, of course) in the context of"coal-scuttle" (seau à charbon) which used to stand by the fireplace of a house with a supply of coal in it.

Denmark, Danish. Jun 10, 2011. #1. I would like to know what a"shell door" is here. This term is from safety instructions for a ship.
