When bad weather was imminent, a pirate ship's wooden hatches were covered with tarpaulin and long wooden slats called battens were fastened to the sides of the hatch to keep the tarpaulin in place. The battening of hatches helped to keep water out of the below-deck areas of the ship.
The cache is not below the hatch, so do not attempt to open it. You will find the cache exposed to bad weather
