We use one with lines every 10° (from the Poles) and 1 hour (in the other direction). Field of View: Angle that the image covers, from side to side. Normal humans pay attention to a Field of View of about 45° (although our eyes actually cover a much larger angle).

The two-masted pygmy trading schooner Equator inspired passenger Robert Louis Stevenson in 1889 to write one of his most famous stories, “The Wrecker,†in his book, “Tales of the South Seas.†Originally built in San Francisco in 1888 as a copra trader, it was converted to steam in 1902 and eventually abandoned in the harbor at Everett, Washington in 1953. The vessel was Everett’s first artifact placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The remains of the hull are protected by a shed near the Port of Everett’s Marina Park.
