Hemisferium Sextant (69616)

This instrument is a faithful reproduction of a 17th-century octant, an essential tool used by navigators of the time. Although the octant was not highly precise in measuring the height of the Sun and stars, it played a crucial role in helping sailors determine geographic latitude during their voyages. Its design reflects the ingenuity of early navigation methods.
