Hi Jim,
   
  The obvious answer, of course, is the universal equinoctial ring dial, as 
invented (?) by William Oughtred.  It finds its own vertical and meridian, is 
adjustable for latitude, folds up for easy stowage etc etc.  But perhaps this 
isn't what you meant...
   
  Regards,
   
  John

  Hello All,

Has anyone ever seen a sundial specifically designed for use on a boat 
or ship?

I realize that there are obvious issues re: movement and variable 
location, but I thought it might be an interesting question for the list 
to consider from the historical perspective...


Best,
