A History of Binnacles. Pamela Burns-Balogh. 2011. A binnacle is the housing for the compass, magnets, and soft iron objects that make it possible for a ship to go from one port to another. Most binnacles did not survive, ships were destroyed, binnacles were scrapped for the metals, and compasses were updated. The only knowledge we have of some binnacles is through the photographic record. This is a history of the development and styles of binnacles from the 16th to the 20th century. The book covers the earliest cabinet binnacles in the 17th century to the complex binnacles of 1960’s. Archival photographs, photographs from museums, old journals, patent drawings and descriptions, and photographs from nautical antique dealers are included to illustrate the history of binnacles.
