Sextant in music- Thomas Dolby - P.Rutherford - 08-16-2018
Thomas Dolby wrote the song Oceanea which is a rather nice song.
In various portions of the video a sextant is shown.
Here's a link- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7STUTxwdC5A
Dolby was popular many years ago. His "office" or studio is in an old lifeboat named "Nutmeg".
He's a rather interesting man in his portrayal or attire of the 1920's or so.
The Morse code at the end reads, Atomic Sakhalin, which is an atomic powered lighthouse in Russia...and I assume Sakalin island.
