History - A sextant is an instrument used to measure the angle between any two visible objects. Its primary use is to determine the angle between a celestial object and the horizon which is known as the altitude. Making this measurement is known as sighting the object, shooting the object, or taking a sight and it is an essential part of celestial navigation. Anyone with a love of the sea will cherish this gift. It makes a nice tabletop display, or great for taking with you on that sailboat!
