Marine Plastic Magnetic Compass with Wooden Box
General Description：
Marine plastic magnetic compass with a wooden box is a navigational instrument used on ships or boats to determine the direction of travel relative to magnetic north. The compass itself is typically made of durable plastic and is designed to be mounted securely to a ship's deck or console. The compass card is marked with directions, typically in 5-degree increments, and is suspended on a pivot point that allows it to move freely. The compass housing contains magnets that align with the Earth's magnetic field, causing the compass card to rotate and point to magnetic north. The wooden box is designed to protect the compass during transport and storage. It is typically made of sturdy wood with a hinged lid and latch closure. The interior of the box is lined with a soft material, such as felt, to cushion the compass and prevent it from moving around. Overall, a marine plastic magnetic compass with a wooden box is a reliable and essential tool for navigation at sea. It allows sailors and ship captains to determine their direction of travel, which is critical for safe and efficient navigation.
Application:
Determining heading and course: The compass provides a reliable indication of the ship's heading, which is essential for navigating in open waters, harbors, and channels. The compass can also be used to set and maintain a specific course, which is important for navigation and safety.
Navigational backup: In the event of an electronic navigation system failure or power outage, the compass provides a backup reference for determining the ship's direction and course.
Emergency situations: The compass can be used in emergency situations, such as during a man-overboard incident or a collision, to quickly determine the ship's heading and course.
Magnetic variation: The compass can be used to calculate and correct for magnetic variation, which is the difference between magnetic north and true north. This is important for accurate navigation, especially in areas with significant magnetic variation.
Navigation training: The compass is an important tool for navigation training, allowing sailors and navigators to practice and refine their skills in determining heading and course.
