EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcasing a sailor using a Jacobs Staff to calculate the angle between a star and the horizon. This historical image takes us back to the 17th century, when navigation at sea was a complex and intricate art form.
The sailor in the picture is seen holding up the staff, which consists of a cross piece mounted on a long pole. By aligning one end of the staff with the horizon and sighting through it towards a star, sailors were able to determine their position on the open ocean. This essential piece of equipment was crucial for safe and successful nautical operations during this era.
As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back in time to an age where exploration and adventure went hand in hand with danger and uncertainty. The skill and precision required to use such tools as the Jacobs Staff highlights the expertise of sailors who braved unknown waters in search of new lands.
This print serves as a reminder of our rich maritime history and pays tribute to those who navigated vast oceans using nothing but their wits, courage, and trusty instruments like the Jacobs Staff. It is truly a fascinating glimpse into our past that continues to inspire awe and admiration for those who came before us.
