This brass pocket sundial is a completely self-contained portable instrument, with a compass for alignment and lid for protection. The gnomon is set for latitudes around 50 Degrees north, so will be most accurate in the south of England, northern Europe, Canada and so on. At these latitudes, this is a functioning time indicator (in as much as sundials ever were!).

Bluenose was a Canadian fishing and racing schooner from Nova Scotia, built-in 1921. She became a provincial icon for Nova Scotia as well as an important Canadian symbol in the 1930s. The name 'bluenose' originated as a nickname for Nova Scotias from as early as the 18th century. This tribute is nothing short of magnificent. It has a hollow hull, constructed entirely of wood, whilst on deck, there are delightful details such as adjustable rigging blocks, sewn cotton sails, raised gunwales and brass fittings.

Great size and good quality for the price.. Gavin. Doncaster, GB. Sat Mar 08 2025

Stumpy little steam-powered cargo ships like these were once a familiar sight around the West Coast of Scotland, providing an essential supply link ferrying goods and coal around the islands - their flat bottoms allowing them to the beach and unload in places that lacked suitable Piers. Although only a handful remains in service today, they are instantly recognized and much loved thanks largely to the short stories by Neil Munro about Vital spark and her Captain Para handy.

The sculpture is made of hand-blown glass in beautifully strong shades of blue, green and amber. They sit on a metal stand. The exclusive design is especially eye-catching. As it's made of hand-blown glass, every piece is unique.

Also unlike the originals, it has a reliable quartz movement, so you can't use it as an excuse to be late! Case diameter 5 cm. Comes with chain and in a velvet bag.

Vernier sextants were, in skilled hands, instruments of great accuracy, practicality and beauty - a joy to own and use, but also essential to the safety of the ship. This replica is dedicated to Royal Navy Captain John Campbell, who developed the instrument in 1757. Crucially his invention appeared at about the same time as the first accurate, portable chronometers - and the combination of the two transformed navigation from guesswork to science, saving countless lives at sea. This importance gave rise to the air of mystique which surrounds the instrument and its use, even in today's age of electronic wizardry. Detailing is impressive, with hardwood handle and protective box, six shades of varying intensity, and a powerful telescope. Instrument measure 20 cm x 16 cm. Box 23 cm square. Please note: The Campbell sextant has fully functioning parts but is not intended for serious use.

Brass compass engraved with Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken". Supplied with leather case.

Aboard HMS Beagle during the Darwin Expeditions of 1831-36, Captain Robert Fitzroy developed and refined the 18th-century storm bottle. This involved much testing and observation of crystal formations and resulted in him being able to make a number of weather predictions with a fair(is) degree of accuracy. Then, as now, no one is quite sure how the storm bottle works. Is it atmospheric pressure, temperature, electrical disturbances? Keep your own records and see if you can confirm or improve upon Fitzroy’s observations.

This is a Silver finish metal Wire Anchor Object

These curious and mesmerising instruments measure the power of electromagnetic radiation. Made from a glass bulb with much of the air removed to form a partial vacuum, inside is a set of fine metal vanes, each with one dark and one light side, mounted on a spindle. The vanes rotate, as if by magic when exposed to sunlight, artificial light, or infrared radiation (even the heat of a hand nearby can be enough) – the more intense the light, the faster the rotation.

Horns have been used in shipping and other forms of transport for centuries to attract attention and give warning, particularly in fog. Their traditional mouth horns are solid brass with nickel-plated mouthpieces and strong brass 'reeds' For longevity. Their 'taxi' Horns have rubber bulbs and deliver a hefty, and somewhat amusing, 'honk honk', evoking images of classic early cars negotiating crowded city streets and bustling harbors being Criss-crossed by a myriad of small craft.

Is it atmospheric pressure, temperature, electrical disturbances, and it's this element of uncertainty, of almost magical alchemy, that makes these storm bottles so fascinating. Stands 16 cm high on a traditional wooden base and comes with Fitzroy's observations. Will you agree with them or find new interpretations? The mystery's been going on for nearly 180 years. And looks set to continue.

Height adjustable legs ensure that the instrument is used upright.
