Hello All,
Anyone who gets UK television may be
interested to know that the viking sun compass will appear on Secrets of the
Ancients, BBC2, Saturday Nov. 11th at 20:10. The programme this week
is about the recreation of a voyage in a purpose built longboat, with an
attempt to prove that the Vikings hauled their boats over land
to avoid sailing around the Shetland Isles (or was it Orkney?)
A picture of this sun compass is also to be found
on Francois Pineau's site: http://www.atco-fr.com/cadrans/navigation/navi_uk.php3
best wishes
Sarah Edmondson-Jones
