What would a sailor keep in a binnacle?

Travel Tips

Binnacle (before 18th century bittacle, through Span. bitacula, from Lat. habitaculum, a little dwelling), a case on the deck of a ship, generally in front of the helmsman, in which is kept a compass, and a light by which the compass is read at night.

In the 1880s a compass and binnacle were patented by Lord Kelvin that greatly advanced marine compasses. His design included two magnets to counter the deviation created by iron-clad hulls.
