  1. mariner's compass

    A mariner's compass is a navigational instrument used by sailors. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the north end) free to align itself with earthly magnetic fields. It aids in the determination of direction relative to the geographic cardinal directions or points like North, South, East, and West. Often housed in a protective, visible case called a binnacle on ships, it remains a critical tool for marine navigation.
