19th century sailors used a sextant, compass, telescope, Galileo glass, maps and a stormglass. A sextant was used to calculate where the ship was, by using the stars, sun and moon. The Galileo glass was used for measuring temperature and the bubbles went up and down accordingly. A stormglass had a mixture of water and crystals that went murky well before you could see the storm in your way.
As time and inventions moved forward in the 19th century, sailors found themselves on steam driven ships. They needed to know how to operate these engines.
