Sextant in Case
This is a
reproduction of a classic sextant from the Victorian era. Sextants
have been used since the 18th century to determine latitude. Defining
the angle of the Sun and Stars with the horizon was the way to navigate and
survey since ancient times, with constant improvements along the way.
The first sextant was produced by John Bird in 1759. This example
includes a fine brass-trimmed cherry wood box with brass corners to
withstand transport at sea.
Ideal gift for a history enthusiast or a collector of nautical accessories.
