Weathered Nautical Vane Anemometer – Salvaged Ship Wind Instrument

This Weathered Nautical Vane Anemometer once guided ships by tracking both wind speed and direction. The vane turns with the wind while the propeller spins to measure speed. Both parts still rotate freely, just as they did at sea. Sailors relied on tools like this to adjust sails and navigate safely.

The light blue body shows age, with paint splatters and weathered areas that highlight its maritime history. Aluminum construction forms the propeller, upper pole, lower pole, and base, while a fiberglass tail adds durability without extra weight.

Today, this piece makes a striking decorative item. Display it indoors or outdoors in a coastal space, maritime collection, or garden setting.

Features:

• Aluminum body with lightweight fiberglass tail
• Freely rotating vane and propeller for wind tracking
• Weathered blue finish with authentic maritime wear
• Suitable for nautical décor, collections, or restoration projects
