Tax included
Lifeboat Compass, made of brass with a wooden
case. The North Atlantic is a unforgiving place. Monstrous storms, fog banks and severe weather conditions make sailing in these waters an extreme adventure. Our fully gimbaled compass is a faithful replica of a dory compass. Flocks of dories used to sail the Grand Banks with just a single fisherman on board, along with his lines and provisions for the day. Cod fishermen used a compass of this type to find their way back to the mother ship, a sailing schooner.
