Barometer from Hebe

This a photo of the barometer from the sailing ship Hebe that ended its days in Stronsay as a coal hulk in the fishing days there. She was broken up after the end of WW2. My cousin got this barometer from a friend of his many years ago who had worked on this boat in the fishing days in Stronsay.

. . . and a fine, manly old sea-dog's instrument it is too!
