Whether for show on a bric-a-brac shelf or courageous orienteering from a small dory in the North Atlantic, this vintage-design, 17th century boxed lifeboat compass is a must-have home decor item. Originally used by lifeboats and small fishing boats in the unforgiving seas where freak storms, fog banks, and severe weather make navigation a survival issue. This fully gimbaled faithful replica of a dory compass sits inside an expertly hand-distressed, French finish box.
