Mine had a "snap ring" on the inside, pry up one end and work it out of there. Yours?

[casual]

Cheechako,I,cleaned the entire port removed all Green Patina looked and looked for a starting point for a snap ring broke the glass I,.don't see it.Is there a split somewhere like most snap rings?

Yep, or longer arms one of the two! Glad you found it. Pretty cool old portlight design... you can take the glass right ourt and reseal it. my gaskets were crumbling.... I just used good silicone... shame on me!
