GALILEO SUNDIAL
Galileo sundial. Since the beginning of mankind it was known that the length of the shadow produced by an object indicated a different time of day, depending on whether the shadow became longer or shorter.
The first sundial that man invented was a simple stake stuck in the ground, and over the centuries he discovered principles and mechanisms that gave a certain precision to these measurements.
The Galileo sundial is horizontal and is a perfect reproduction of those made in the 16th century, which were widely used at that time. Its interior decoration is typical of these clocks that can be seen in the most important museums in the world, such as the British Museum or the Naval Museum in Madrid.
OPERATION
Its operation is very simple, simply using the compass, orient the sundial in the north-south direction, with the cover facing north. The shadow of the rope will provide you with the solar time.

-A beautiful brass engraving depicting the ship Victoria
-An old paper map with the four voyages of Christopher Columbus.
