Current Goal

To remain within 50 kilometres of the marine environment and visit and be photographed with as many chronometers and coastal town clocks as possible in Australia and around the world.

About This Item

John Harrison was the inventor of the Marine Chronometer or high accuracy timepiece with a special mechanism for ensuring and adjusting its accuracy. It was used in determining longitude at sea or for any purpose where very exact measurement of time is required.

I picked this coin up as a FTF prize and want it to roam the coastal regions of the world and report back via the logs and photos of fellow cachers.
