In 1875 George W. Eldridge published the first Eldridge Tide and Pilot book. "The Tide Book" has been published annually by the same family for over 130 years (see History of The Eldridge Tide and Pilot Book for more). Capitan Eldridge's eldest Daughter Ruth married Wilfrid O. White of Williamstown Australia. Wilfrid came from a family of shipbuilders and he was fascinated with navigation. He took an opportunity to study with Lord Kelvin in the UK and when he returned to Boston in 1918 he opened up a small nautical instrument dealership. Kelvin and Wilfrid O. White Co., was located on historic State Street in Boston, a couple of blocks from the busy waterfront. He offered sextants, compasses in large binnacles, chronometers, binoculars, taffrail logs, barometers, and charts for all oceans. For two generations the company manufactured the highest quality navigation instruments. No box,No key ! I dont know if it works, but pretty sure that it does! I will bring it to clock shop and check if it works before auction ends! No reserve! Very rear and hard to find! Email me : Thanx and good luck !!!
