What is a Binnacle On Ships?

The magnetic compass plays a very vital role in maritime navigation. As per SOLAS Chapter 5, Regulation 19 “all ships irrespective of size shall have a properly adjusted standard magnetic compass or other means, independent of any power supply to determine the ship’s heading and display the reading at the main steering position”. Owing to the exposure of the magnetic compass to the weather and harsh conditions, it becomes necessary to safeguard the compass. The navigation instrument that helps serve this purpose is the binnacle. Alongside this aid, binnacles also safeguard the compasses from toppling over due to the constant rolling and pitching of the vessel.

What is the binnacle?

The binnacle is a cylindrical container made of non-ferrous material that houses the different components of the magnetic compass and that as a whole. Earlier, wood was used for the construction of the binnacle. The compass bowl is housed in the top part of the binnacle whereas the middle part is accessible through a door housing the corrector magnets extending to the projector towards the forward.

History of the Marine Binnacle

Binnacles have been in utilization since the 1700s. Over the years though, several developments to the technology of binnacles have been carried out to suit the developments in the vessels’ building technology. The instrument consists of a round stand upon which a plinth is mounted. Separate divisions constructed, store the compass and other navigational equipment on the plinth of the binnacle.

A ship binnacle is positioned right before the helmsman’s line of vision. The compass and all other navigation equipment are safeguarded within the binnacle, making it easy for the steersman to observe and steer the vessel accordingly. For this purpose, binnacles have always been constructed to come up to the waist of steersmen handling the vessel.

Magnetic compass correctors in a binnacle

• Flinders Bar
• Quadrantal Spheres
• Heeling Magnet
• Athwartship Magnets
• Fore and Aft Magnets

In the centre part of the lower half of the binnacle are contained many holes which contain inside them corrector magnets to negate disturbing effects of magnetism caused by the hull of the ship. The specifications of the corrector magnets are decided by an authorised ‘compass adjuster’ whose services are usually called upon in port. The access door to these corrector magnets must be kept locked at all times unless when needed to be opened for adjustment.

The Flinders Bar is a soft iron corrector vertically placed in the for’d or aft part of the binnacle depending on the extension of the superstructure area abaft of or forward of the binnacle. The length of the bar may be changed during adjustment of the compass.

The Quadrantal Correctors are two soft iron spheres fitted in brackets on either side of the binnacle. Again, the distance between the quadrantal correctors can be altered during adjustent of the compass.

The helmet is fitted on top of the binnacle and is non-ferrous. This is in place to protect the compass bowl from the weather and harsh conditions.

Care and maintenance

• Access doors to be kept locked at all times
• If made of wood, the binnacle should be varnished and not painted
• The quadrantal corrector must be painted from time to time to prevent rust from settling
• The brass parts are to be polished regularly
• All materials with magnetic properties must be kept away from the compass
• Helmet to be kept in position at all times
• All adjustment to be carried out by an authorised compass adjuster
• Remove any bubbles that may be present in the compass bowl within the binnacle

Removal of bubbles

Following steps should be taken to remove bubbles:

• Tilt the bowl till the filler hole comes up and can be seen
• Unscrew the screw
• Top up with ethyl alcohol. If ethyl alcohol is not available, use distilled water
• Screw the screw back
• Return the bowl to position

Compass Projector

The magnetic compass is housed on the monkey island and the compass course needs to be viewed from the bridge. The compass projector is in place to enable the same via subsequent reflections. It is in place to enable the helmsman to in the wheelhouse to view the coincident compass card reading and lubber line to steer the ship correctly.

Other Terminologies

While binnacles refer to navigation instrument, the term ‘binnacle lists’ refers to those seafarers who have been relieved from duty on a particular day on account of medical unfitness.

Well information providing with us, I just back to my house from ship. You may find here too https://www.marinesalvageantiques.com/

The Flinders Bar, Kelvin spheres and compensating magnets are used to counteract the effect of the earths magnetism and the induced magnetism in the metal of the surrounding vessel.

Lord Kelvin was a Scot.

The spheres are not magnetic they are made of soft iron

Halifax, NS, B3N 1R2 Yachting World Digital Edition Best fixed compasses: 6 options for binnacle and bulkhead mounted units Andrew Dare March 27, 2023 Every sailor needs a reliable and dependable fixed compass in the cockpit, allowing safe navigation while keeping on a straight heading. We pick out 6 of the best fixed compasses, both binnacle and bulkhead mounted.... Fixed compasses are an essential piece of kit that every yacht needs. They are especially good in this day and age, as they do not need any electrical power to run.  They can get you where you are going and back home again safely, even in the event of an onboard power outage.  Under the compass card is a small magnet which lines up north/south using the Earth’s magnetic field. Then the whole compass is encased in a damping fluid to give a stable heading at sea. Many things may alter the compass alignment. Deviation is caused by onboard metal, such as  your engine, cockpit speakers and even the wires supplying power to your compass light. Consequently, all compasses then need to be adjusted using small compensating magnets inside the compass. Usually, this needs the hand of an experienced compass adjuster, during a process called “swinging the compass”. Compass s tyles Traditionally, binnacle compasses are mounted directly in front of the wheel. These compasses have a flat card, which is only viewed from above. Usually they are mounted on a platform, to raise them up from the pivot point of the wheel. Also they tend to be larger, giving a clearer vision. Smaller yachts and those with tiller steering, usually have bulkhead-mounted compasses at the front of the cockpit, to one side of the companionway. One advantage of these, is they mostly come with a built in clinometer, showing your angle of heel. Knowing this, also helps you to decide when to put that reef in. Many of these have hybrid dials. This allows you to read the compass from above, as well as when stood in the cockpit at the helm. The downside is, you need a hole to be cut in your boat to fit the compass. If you are in interested in the best hand bearing compasses , we’ve covered them off in a separate feature. 6 of the best fixed compasses Ritchie BN 202 Navigator Specifications Card diameter: 130mm Size: 200mm x 200mm x 180mm Warranty: 5 years Lighting: 12v Reasons to buy: High performance Solid workhorse Built-in inclinometer up to 40 degrees Built in sun cover Duel lighting for dependable night sailing Reasons to avoid: More expensive than many compasses Larger than most This is a top quality fixed compass and built for all conditions. Having a vertical numerical display 1.5cm high, this makes it easy to read from the helm position, as well as from the cockpit. A sapphire jewel pivot system gives a steady reading, together with its internal gimbal. A good safety point with this compass, which is not usually seen, is it has dual 12v night lighting. This will make it more dependable on longer voyages, where you don’t want to be dismantling the compass for repairs. Below the bezel is an easy to read in-built inclinometer, which reads up to 40 degrees, together with 3 lubber lines for steering to windward.

Plastimo Contest 130   Best fixed compass for racing Card diameter: 130mm Size: 190mm x 170mm x 170mm Lightning: 12v/14v Can be fitted to any thickness of bulkhead Can also be bracket-mounted, even to the mast Heel angle clearly marked up to 45 degrees Sharp and clear display Bulb positioned at front for good even illumination Scratch-resistant dome Can be read from inside and outside bulkhead Inclinometer Can be hard to track down This compass is very sharp and can be clearly read from up to five metres away as well as from above too. In addition, the bulb integrated into the front flange, gives an even illumination over the whole compass dome. Another bonus is this also makes for easy replacement. It comes with a scratch-resistant compass dome and is fully UV-ray treated. This is a very versatile compass, as it is one of the few compasses that can be read from both inside the cabin as well as the cockpit. It can be fitted to bulkheads inclined up to 25 degrees and of any thickness. All these points have made it a very popular choice for racers, where it is regularly used on the Figaro circuit and  Golden Globe race . Buy from Gael Force Marine Lewmar Flush Mount 135 compass with hood Best fixed compass for ocean passages Card diameter: 130mm Size: 150mm x 150mm Warranty: 5 years Lighting: 12v/24v Has a large compass card Can be binnacle-mounted or bulkhead-fitted Suitable for larger yachts using a 24v system The price Pedestal mount requires separate binnacle mount, which is not included This compass features a durable sapphire jewel pivot. The flush mounting can be read from both above and the helm position. A handy built-in cover slides over the compass when not in use, to protect it from damaging UV rays , so no more searching about at the end of a voyage for that cover. Buy from Lewmar Buy from Solas Marine Buy from Mylor Chandlery Silva 100NBC Compass Best all-round, versatile fixed compass Card diameter: 100mm Size: 60m x 160mm x 160mm Warranty: 2 years Can be read from top, as well as from aft Bulkhead or pedestal mounted (using separate binnacle mount) Built-in protective cover Many mounting options with adjustable bracket Adjustable lighting within the protective cover Mount not as solid as bulkhead or binnacle Lighting cable very exposed and prone to damage No heel angle scale This compass has duel scales, allowing it easily be read from both above and the helm position. The Silva 100NBC, has a solid bracket, permitting various mounting alternatives and can even be mounted upside down on the headlining, if space is limited. It’s one of the few compasses to have adjustable illumination, operated by moving the protective cover up and down. Autonautic CHE-0074 Compass Best fixed compass for larger and steel yachts   Size: 195mm x 195mm x 180mm Card diameter: 140 mm Warranty: 5 years Lighting: 12v/24v The Compass for larger vessel More accurate graduation markings Can be fitted with iron correctors, for steel vessels More expensive Aimed at bigger yachts, this is the largest of the fixed compasses featured here. Its is especially good for steel yachts, which produce much deviation from their metal hull. This is a no-fuss, but robust compass that is durable and trustworthy. Having a larger diameter, this allows more space for extra graduations on the compass card. Lines are marked ever 2.5 degrees, giving better accuracy compared to most, which have 5 degree markings. Buy from Marine Compasses Buy from Auto Nautic Clipper Fluxgate Compass System Best fixed compass for coastal sailing Card diameter: N/A Size: 110mm x 110mm Depth behind panel: 30mm Supply voltage: 1 2v DC Power consumption: 40mA Fluxgate accuracy: +/- 1 degree with Adjustable Damping Resolution: 1 degree Fluxgate Dimensions: 72mm x 68mm x 40mm Fluxgate Data: 475 grams, including 10 metre cable Fluxgate sensor can be mounted away from metal Bright easy to read screen On-screen arrows show which way to steer to stay on course Off course alarm Very accurate Always needs power to keep working, unlike a magnetic compass Not as visible from all angles, as with a binnacle-mounted compass The Clipper Compass is a fully electronic compass with remote fluxgate sensor. This is a totally electronically operated compass, and can display both true or magnetic headings. The display is large and clear, having seven levels of illumination. Coming with a 10m cable, the gimballed sensor can be mounted well away from strong magnetic fields and metals In use, it can display a series of chevrons, showing the direction and amount to steer, to return to your chosen course. Secondly, an off-course alarm provides a safety feature when not at the helm. If the yacht’s heading deviates by more than a preset amount, then the alarm will sound.

Seaview offers a very compact enclosure just right for this purpose. The Seaview SPOD is designed for adding a modern low-profile instrument display, autopilot, or other accessory to your sailboat helm. The SPOD is designed to be mounted either to the side of an existing chartplotter-sized enclosure or directly onto stainless rail. Photos by Drew Frye The SPODs are made to match instrument displays from B&G, Furuno, Hummingbird, ICOM, Lowrance, Simrad, Sitex, Raymarine, Garmin and Standard Horizon, ensuring a perfect for the given device. They are sold uncut; however, you can request that they are pre-cut to fit your instrument prior to shipping. The SPOD has the ability to rotate on one axis to the desired position before being tightened down when it is attached to another enclosure, and an additional degree of freedom to pivot into final position on a stainless mount. Your instrument display does not necessarily need to point towards the stern. Our tester installed two, each facing sideways making key boat performance information available to the helmsmen and mainsheet trimmers who are necessarily on the rail while sailing upwind. The latest version of the SPOD supports the slightly larger B&G Triton2, and is packaged with a 90 degree NMEA-2000 elbow to simplify the cabling inside the tiny enclosure. After drilling and fishing the necessary wire through the stainless tubing, our installer reports that the mounting and assembly of the SPOD and a Triton2 display took just 15 minutes including the drilling of four small holes for the screws on the display. At $165, the SPOD is priced less than the $329 NavPod RMX4102, another product that can helpfully support an additional display or autopilot at your helm. The NavPod is continuously adjustable if you have available space at your binnacle for an arm-mounted display.
