In the 1800s, a nautical ship's binnacle was a crucial piece of equipment, serving as a housing and protective structure for the ship's compass; not included. It not only shielded the compass from damage and magnetic interference but also placed it in a convenient location for easy viewing by the helmsman. The ship's compass and the protective binnacle were essential for accurate navigation, particularly at night or when landmarks were not visible. Measurements: About 8 1/2" Wide at the base and about 13" tall to top of ring. This binnacle is located about 7 miles south of the Lynchburg, Va. Airport just off of Rt. 29s. Four3four.6six0.six6five6. I can ship.
