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?
