Nautical Astrolabe (stand)
£29.00 (incl VAT)
This is a reproduction of the Nautical Astrolabe in the Art Gallery and Museum of Dundee. This marine astrolabe, made by the Portuguese, is dated between 1550 - 1555. Its owner, a Dundee skipper, Andrew Smyton, stamped it with both his name and date of ownership, 1688. The nautical astrolabe is a simplification of the planispherical or astronomical astrolabe and can only measure the altitude of the stars to calculate the latitude.
