The North Atlantic is an unforgiving place. Freak storms, fog banks, and severe weather make navigation a survival issue. Our fully gimbaled boxed compass is a faithful replica of a dory compass. Stacks of dories were sailed to the Great Banks and single fishermen set out with fishing lines and victuals for a day. Cod fishers used a similar compass to find their way back to the mother ship, a sailing schooner. Features This looks exactly the same as the one tool used by fishermen of the Great Banks. Solid bronze, compact and very nostalgic—you can make it an accessory or just part of the home décor. This handsome gimbaled compass in a beautifully handcrafted wooden box will add charm to any interior.
