Time for the Navy at Royal Observatory Greenwich
Overview
This gallery is about the provision of accurate timekeepers for the Royal Navy. Virtually all ships used marine chronometers and deck watches for navigation from the 1820s until the 1950s. The Royal Observatory coordinated the servicing, repair and testing of all the Royal Navy's chronometers.
