Newsletter of the International Haskell Family Society
Volume 13, No. 3, September 2004On April 30, 1905, a London, Connecticut, USA newspaper announced:
Captain Edward Y. Haskell of this city, master of the steam yacht Viking, has been granted a patent on an instrument to be used in connection with the mariner's compass for the purpose of sighting a moving object at sea and recording automatically its true bearing on the compass.
Prior to securing a patent, Capt. Haskell, himself a navigator and ship master of extensive experience, tested out his course marker and finder in actual service and found that under all conditions, when a moving object was sighted through the finder, the needle provided for that purpose recorded the bearing of the object accurately. Further, Capt. Haskell found that when the object was sighted a second time, the observer, having the course of his own vessel in mind, determined at once the probability or possibility of a collision, if neither vessel changed its course.
The Haskell marker and finder's simple design, accuracy of results, inexpensive cost, and lack of cumbersomeness in attachment to a binnacle renders it a valuable accessory to the navigation bridge.
... Patents have already been applied for in Europe and agencies are being formed for securing patents in all parts of the world.
The instrument that Captain E. Y. Haskell invented is used to this day. It has never been superseded because it is simple and accurate. The Pelorus, as it came to be called, is a navigational instrument resembling a mariner's compass but without magnetic needles, and having two sight vanes by which bearings are taken.By December of 1916 Captain Haskell had been able to place his invention, by then known as the "Haskell Locator", on steamers of a number of shipping lines, including Clyde, Luckenbach, Ocean, White Star, and American-Hawaiian, as well as on a goodly number of large private steam yachts.
