Antique American Nautical Skylight Binnacle Compass
About the Item
Our experience with them dates back to 1948, the year that Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall stared in a movie called - Key Largo - which was a gangster film set in the Florida keys and featured a motor yacht name - Santana -. Binnacles such as these became popular starting in the 1920's. Bogart also had one in the cockpit of his well known yawl Santana. It is shown covered with a chrome hood. Their popularity accelerated after the movie for those who could afford them because they were very expensive. Years later, in 1979, I insisted on having one on our ketch Bagheera which served us well during seven years of ocean cruising.
