Brass Stormglass ES 55 01 01
This mysterious weather predictor has been used since 1750. Admiral Fitzroy, the famous sailor and meteorologist, used the Stormglass aboard the HMS Beagle during his historic voyage with Darwin. After 250 years, how the Stormglass works
is still a mystery, but it is believed that it has to do with the electromagnetic changes caused by weather and sun storms. The appearance of the crystals inside the glass indicates changes in the weather.
Sealed glass chamber holds the crystals and is encapsulated in a beautifully crafted brass cylinder.
Displayed freestanding or mounted to a boat bulkhead or wall using an optional mounting bracket.
Available in a variety of finishes.
Diameter: 1-5/8" (41 mm). Height: 5-3/4" (146 mm).
Wt: 1 lb. (454 g).
