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.

Barometers
Early seafarers carried crude instruments to sea to aid in navigation.
One instrument was the barometer to measure air pressure.
Suddenly falling air pressure predicted rough weather ahead.
High pressure meant fair and sunny weather and probably good sailing.
The word barometer comes from the Greek words “baros”, meaning weight and “metron”, meaning measure.
When you purchase one of these attractive, solid brass barometer clocks you will get both weight and measure for your dollar!
Both eye catching and accurate, these barometer clocks allow you to forecast the coming weather in the same way ship’s captains have been doing for hundreds of years.
