Storage item on some ocean voyages

Answer:

STEAMERTRUNK

Hint:

Think of the large, sturdy chest travelers once used to pack clothes and belongings for long sea journeys, often made of wood or metal.

Explanation:

This clue hints at a large, sturdy trunk used historically on ship voyages to store clothes and belongings. The term "steamer trunk" comes from the era of steamship travel, when passengers needed durable, flat-topped trunks that could fit under bunks or in tight cabins. The word "steamer" refers to the steam-powered ships, while "trunk" is the storage container itself. It’s a straightforward reference without hidden wordplay—just a nod to old-fashioned sea travel.
