Original Item: Only One Available. Incredibly rare WWII German Navy Submarine celestial navigation globe, with maker’s mark. Inscribed: BERLIN Geogr. artist Anstalt von Ernst Schott & Co, the 6½in. diameter globe set within steel calibrated horizon and meridian rings on black painted brass base stamped ‘M 915‘ with deck-securing lugs (globe dented, some discoloration, some markings deleted from base) — 9in. (23cm.) high.
An invaluable tool for U-Boat crews, who normally would surface at night when the threat of being spotted by Allied aircraft and seagoing vessels was minimal, this Celestial Globe allowed the crews to navigate as sailors had for centuries previous; by using the stars above them.
Considering the high attrition rate of German U-Boats as the war went on, most of these Kriegsmarine Celestial Globes ended up at the bottom of the sea. With very few in existence today, this unique WWII nautical artifact is a very rare find indeed.
Previously in the collection of a small, long closed, French Museum. Most likely, as the Kriegsmarine Property Stamp Eagle has been removed from the base (Leaving only the serial number and the “M” [Marine] stamp), this was used following WWII as well.
