MigL Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Not impressed by the compass, but that is one sexy sextant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still use it in practise, at the beach, on the roof, all the appropriate places. 😉 I picked up the binnacle and compass at a ship's chandler a few years ago for $400.

Intoscience Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Bit boring really, but I'm not much of a materialistic person. I have a cupboard draw at home where I keep all the trinkets and gifts I hold dear. Some have high monetary value others just emotional. So I guess this would be my most prized material possession(s). I do own a silver platter that has been handed down in the family since 1770, although I don't know the history behind it. My son will inherit it once I pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
