Long before the advent of GPS, sailors navigated using a sextant.
A sextant is an instrument used to measure the angle of the elevation of an object in the sky.
Sextants aided ancient sailors in determining location and position on a nautical chart.
The scale of a sextant has a length of 1/6 of a full circle; 60°, hence the sextant’s name.
Our old fashioned brass sextants will return you to the day when sailors navigated the seven seas by the stars in the sky.
Today, our precision sextants can still be used by experienced sailors to navigate the seas while our decorative versions are a treasured accent item that any captain will appreciate.
This week only, our Sextants are 20% off when you use coupon code NIOW at checkout.
