The solid bronze finish gimbaled compass sits inside an expertly hand distressed, French finished box. 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.If we do not have this item in stock we will order it for you from our supplier.
