Harpoon taffrail towing log. Boston: Fisher-Pierce Co., [n.d.] Brass harpoon towing buoy with 4 blades (approximately 14”), brass weight, and pulley, and speed gauge (in nautical miles) for mounting onto deck. Some general wear, tarnishing, the gauge is untested. Generally good. This buoy doesn’t have instruments built-in as many towing logs do but is attached to a ship-mounted gauge to measure the ship’s speed.
