This is a German Ship Binnacle. The binnacle is the Main compass on the ship. The compass is under the brass hood and has a light under it so it can be viewed through the window. The Green and Red balls on either side slide to adjust the compass to compensate for the magnetic skew of the iron on the ship. A nice binnacle like this one costs about $2200.00. | ||||||||||||||

This lifeboat binnacle was essential for the survival and navigation while onboard a lifeboat. It is equipped with side-housing for a candle or lamp to provide light at night. Flashlights may not be used, as the magnetic qualities in the batteries affect the accuracy of the binnacle's compass. |
