Ship's instruments

Replicas of ship's instruments are obvious collector's items. It looks great with a sextant on the bookshelf along with binoculars and a compass.

Engine telegraphs and sextants, large ship's bells and working compass and hourglass. Replica of old binoculars, whistles and horns still in use at sea.

A beautiful engine telegraph in the corner of the desk bears witness to a bygone time when the captain used the beautiful instrument to notify the engine room.

Sail for the stars or use a sextant for navigation and let a compass and good binoculars help you - just be aware that both sextant and binoculars are unprofessional but are best for convenience suitable for navigation.

And if you use the hourglass when you need to keep track of how long it's been, you can ring the big ship's bell when your captain's lab is ready to go.

At Nauticum, among the many different instruments, we have telescopes, ship's bells, skipper's whistles and horns.

The instruments are replicas and are made to be almost exactly like the originals. All is well for nautical decoration and some of the items can be used but most are for decoration only.
