Questions About Binnacle Compass
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A binnacle is the housing space for a ship’s compass. It’s designed to counter the magnetic deviation that might be caused by the fact that a ship is made of iron. To be effective, binnacles needed to be made of non-ferrous materials, meaning they could not contain any iron. Find a collection of vintage and modern binnacles on 1stDibs.
