Vessel Operations
DATE: June 08, 2006
In
the day of satellite navigation, electronic charts and gyro
compasses we still find ourselves tied to the past. Above,
the day navigator and 2nd mate( along wit the
meteorologists) pose for the camera while "flipping" the
heeling magnet in the ship's binnacle (steering magnet
housing). This must be done when the vessel crosses the
magnetic equator. Neglecting this task can result in wild
oscillations of the ship's steering magnet.
