Additional Information

Aside from aiding in navigation and mapping, in times of war the brass nautical telescope was an essential tool. Used to spot enemy vessels, the telescope allowed commanders to formulate plans of attack as well as utilize signal flag communication between ships. By the late18th century it had become possible to manufacture telescope brass instruments on a larger scale, and navies were making great use of the new tool. The design that we know today became common among sea farers, naval and pirate alike, and remains practically unchanged. Originally crafted from leather and wood, often with brass fittings, they later came to be crafted from solid telescope brass and used by sailors to spot approaching ships, enemy targets, and obstacles in the high seas. Though the design is much the same, with the technological advancements in the lenses and mirrors, the brass spyglass has become an ever more powerful tool. From astronomers to sailors, world travelers to boy scouts, the amazing telescope brass model is in use throughout the world, and continues to contribute amazing discoveries to both science and industry.
