Questions About Nautical Compass
- What is a nautical compass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A nautical compass is a compass made up of parallel or bundled needles that are permanently connected to the card and used to display directions (north, east, south, and west) as well as their immediate points. Compared to an electronic device equipped with GPS, a compass is inexpensive, has a low risk of malfunctioning and is a lightweight instrument. Compasses were once indispensable for sailors navigating the high seas. Find a collection of antique and vintage nautical compasses on 1stDibs today.
