Back to the Onward
The nerve centre of any boat
Echo Sounder and just visible on the right is the Deca Navigator, 3 channel I think.
Radio, I used to be able to listen to the boats, out in the Clyde, on my radio at home
To the left is the Direction Finder, it picked up signals from Lighthouses.
Right of it is the Compass Housing, it let day light in from above and behind it was an electric light.

Not a bad catch, there was a small Halibut
in amongst this catch. |
