The Historical Significance of the Sextant
The sextant has been an essential tool for sailors since the 1700s. The device, developed on the basis of Hadley’s octane in 1731, makes it possible to measure the angle of the Sun and the horizon. Whoever gets this in hand can really touch the heroic age of shipping.
