Hi all,
Two weeks ago I was visiting the marine museum in den Helder (The Netherlands). There were several museum sextants however one particular caught my attention (see the photo). I have never seen such a big reading scale. Was that specially designed for people with a poor sight ?
kind regrds,
Igor
