The mariner's magnetic compass was
first invented some 2,000 years ago and
were made of lodestone, a naturally magnetized stone of iron. Mariners often
found this compass inaccurate because
they did not understand the concept of
magnetic variation. It was used when the
sun as not visible to identify the wind
direction. Later compasses were made of
iron needles, magnetized by striking them
with a lodestone. Mariners also started to
keep more detailed records of their voyages and created charts. Considered valuable, they were often kept secret from
other mariners, even though they were
not very accurate. Dry compasses began
appearing around 1300, eventually being
replaced in the early 20th century by the
liquid-filled magnetic compass.
A compass functions because the
magnetism of the Earth attracts the magnetic needle, which draws it to the constantly shifting Magnetic North Pole. The
Geographic North pole is static and is
located 1,931 kilometers north of the
Magnetic pole. This variation between
the two is known as magnetic declination,
which changes as you move across the
globe. Navigators know to always compensate for compass variation when
charting their courses. At one time the
agonic line (imaginary line where true
north and magnetic north align) passed
