This antique E.S. Ritchie & Sons Liberty Ship binnacle compass and stand is a remarkable piece of maritime history. Standing 4 feet high, it was built in Boston by E.S. Ritchie & Sons, with the compass itself made by Negus of New York, both renowned makers of naval navigation instruments. Featuring a serial number of 46785, this piece reflects the precision and craftsmanship of its era. Although some components are non-operational, namely a cut cord, the compass itself is fully functional, accurately pointing true north. A fantastic collector’s item, it preserves the legacy of Liberty Ships and their role in naval history.
