Sea captains, especially, keep their eye on the barometer to navigate their ships away from approaching storms.
If the barometer needle falls to between 28 and 29 inches that means a nor'easter or maybe even a hurricane is approaching.
There's a salty saying- "When the needle falls low, strong winds will blow".
You don't need to be a ship's captain to use a barometer. They are easy and fun to use.
Just turn the center knob so that the brass needle is over the black barometer needle.
Come back in an hour or two and see whether the barometer needle is rising or falling and test your forecasting skills against the Weather Channel.
The Ship's Bell Barometer can be purchased separately or as a matching pair with the Ship's Bell Clock. The barometer adds beauty and interest to any room.
The barometer movement is made in France to Chelsea's specifications and needs no winding.
