This museum display case features several historical navigation and surveying instruments arranged on a sand-filled base. The centerpiece is a green solar compass, flanked by transit surveying equipment. Additional items include an engineer's chain, a plumb bob, a maritime almanac, and what appears to be a chaining pin. The display is set within a glass case framed by a large piece of driftwood at the bottom. The sandy bottom and maritime tools suggest this is part of a maritime or transportation history exhibit. Small identification labels accompany each artifact, though some are difficult to read clearly in the photograph.
