taffrail log
A taffrail log is a navigational instrument used on ships to measure the speed and distance travelled through water. It generally consists of a rotator or flywheel (impeller) attached by a line to a recording device, mounted on the taffrail, the ship's stern. As the ship moves, the impeller rotates in the water and its rotations are counted by the recording device, calculating the vessel's speed and distance travelled.
