The magnetic compass is the most well-known of all instruments used in finding direction. It is the oldest navigational instrument and has been aiding sailors to cross the seas for many centuries. Mariners can use magnetic compasses to fix a ship’s position on a chart by using it to take bearings of visible objects as well as allowing them to steer a particular course.
