Harpoon taffrail towing log. Boston: Fisher-Pierce Co., [n.d.] Metal harpoon towing buoy with 4 blades (approximately 14”), rope, weight, and speed gauge (in nautical miles) on a wooden base for mounting onto a ship’s 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.
