Binnacle
The Binnacle is the housing for the ship's compass, located on the bridge. Sailors nickname the Binnacle `Faithful Fred` because it keeps the compass safe and waterproof inside its brass casing. If you've ever heard the term binnacle list, sailors use this instead of saying sick list because the ship's corpsmen used to place lists of the sick on the binnacle each morning to inform the captain who was under the weather...literally! Whether you choose to purchase an authentic binnacle or a decorative one, you can rely on the quality of its craftsmanship, like so many sailors have over time.
