ship's clock Explanation: "Bitácora" the ship's binnacle, or compass stand, located on the bridge, so the "reloj" must be the ship's clock, which would be mounted near the binnacle. "Cuaderno de bitácora" is the ship's log, not an instrument, but a book. See the link below. Good luck!! AA Reference: http://www.valser.es/a.p.pro/viramar1.htm |
