The following is a cross post from the maritime history list in the event that curators of maritime collections are not on that list. Apologies for any duplication. --------------------------------- I am posting this query for our Curator who is seeking maritime navigational replicas. The Tampa Bay History Center is preparing a small exhibit on the Spanish exploration of Tampa Bay -- a preview of what we hope will be a larger future exhibition. As part of the exhibit we would like to display a replica of a 16th century astrolabe, perhaps a knotline and other replica navigational hardware. Question: Are there firms or individuals that have made high quality replicas that you are familiar with and would recommend? Byron A. Johnson Tampa Bay History Center [log in to unmask]
