The Jersey 14p stamp above, -T.B.Davis steering "Westward"- shows his compass in front of him. This summer while I was working at the Coast Guard one day, I took a shot of a compass in the lobby which was from a decomissioned ship. Sorry they are only small cellphone pics.
Coast Guard is serious business.....had to show a police abstract clearance and sign in past an electric gate! :shock:

One of the Coast Guard officers explained the balls to me. They are made of metal and are adjusted once the compass is installed on the ship. It compensates for any magnetic pull on the needle the ship itself produces, to correct for true north. Here is the inside under the brass cover.

Here is an image of definitive stamp depicting a 19th century Paraguayan paddle steamer underway with its auxiliary sails set, engraved and printed by Waterlow & Sons, Ltd., London, and issued by Paraguay in 1945, Scott No. 410, SG No. 591. Historical note: The text on the stamp indicates that this merchantman sailed prior to the "tragedy" of the Paraguayan War, also known as War of the Triple Alliance, a military conflict in South America fought from 1864 to 1870 between Paraguay and the Triple Alliance of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. Proportionally, this war caused more deaths than any other war in modern history, and particularly devastated Paraguay, killing most of its male population.

Here is an image of a stamp depicting the Argentine Navy training ship (now a museum ship) ARA Presidente Sarmiento, a 2,750 ton sailing vessel built by Laird Brothers, Birkenhead, England, and launched in 1897. This stamp was printed by lithogravure, and issued by Argentina on October 5, 1947 to mark the 50th anniversary of the ship's launching, Scott No. 567, SG No. 778. Note the interesting additional design elements of the constellation Crux (the Southern Cross), and the anchor decorated with the Argentine Sol de Mayo national emblem.

Somewhere I have photos of a number of visits by the Esmeralda to Sydney Harbour in the 1960s. Finding them is on my to-do list.

The Matthew was a caravel sailed by Italian navigator and explorer John Cabot (known in Italian as Giovanni Caboto; c. 1450 – c. 1499) from Bristol, England to North America, presumably Newfoundland, in 1497. Here is an image of a stamp depicting Cabot in the Matthew off Cape Bonavista, designed after a painting by C. Dinsmore reproduced as an illustration in The Book of Newfoundland, Vol. 2 (St. John's: Newfoundland Book Publishers, 1937), J. R. Smallwood, ed., engraved and printed by Waterlow & Sons., Ltd., and issued by Newfoundland on June 23, 1947 to commemorate the 450th anniversary of Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland, Scott No. 269, SG No. 294, plus an image of Dinsmore's book illustration.

To add to this item.

On the home page of ABC News (Australia) today is this photo of the Esmerelda as she arrived in Sydney Harbour yesterday. Accompanying her is the James Craig, while two commuter ferries ply the route between Circular Quay and Manly .
