12. Octants
English, 18th Century
In the mid 18th Century, John Hadley of England had the clever idea of using mirrors and colored glass to eliminate the sun's harmful glare when making navigational measurements. The sun is seen in a mirror and its image is moved up or down by moving the index arm until it is seen "sitting" on the horizon, which is viewed at the same time though apiece of glass. Octants are so called because the bottom arc of their frame occupies an eighth part of a circle

Shardlow Canal Port.
The Trent and Mersey Canal opened in 1777, linking the River Trent at Derwent Mouth, Derbyshire to the River Mersey, with the section through Shardlow (Shardlow Basin) completed in 1770. With the second connection via the Bridgewater Canal, 'The Grand Trunk' was James Brindley's vision of more than 70 locks and five tunnels - following Brindley's death in 1772, the project was completed by Hugh Henshall.
Originally a river port, with origins back to the bronze age, Shardlow developed greatly with the opening of the Trent & Mersey Canal. The earliest extant map, from 1816, shows a canal port comprising twelve warehouses and associated basins, with commodities such as coal, timber, iron, cheese, wheat and salt transferred from wide boats to narrowboats and warehousing for onward distribution.
Along with this development came all sorts of other businesses and buildings to support the carriers - boat builders, ropewalks, workshops, stores, stables, offices, workers' cottages and owners' houses. The decline of the canal system led to the closure of the port in 1948 and different uses for the warehouses, but the area remains remarkably little changed today. The Heritage Centre is leased from Mansfield Brewery which completely refurbished and equipped the building as a museum for the village.

The Norfolk District debris removal vessel MOBJACK sits at the docks across the Elizabeth River in Portsmouth, Virginia. The MOBJACK will be decommissioned later this year. The MOBJACK's mission was to patrol the federal navigation channels removing debris, which could damage ships in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. (Photos by Mark Haviland)
