== == I do not know what picture you are looking at, but it probably is a "sextant", a navigational instrument used for measuring the altitude of celestial bodies to determine longitude and latitude.
Actually, the sextants I've seen looks nothing like an hourglass. But I believe Chtistopher Columbus used an hourglass on deck to keep track of time for the watchguard on board.
