#LOCKS WITH SPRINGS DIDN T WORK at sea either. Depending on the temperature and humidity, the metal in the springs expanded, or it contracted, becoming tighter. This caused the clock to lose or gain time. #OUNTRIES OFFERED PRIZES WORTH what would be millions of dollars in today’s money to anyone who could come up with an accurate marine clock. In the mid-1700s, inventors came up with the first accurate clocks for the sea, or chronometers (kruhNAHM-uh-ters). Chronometer
To find out where they are in the open ocean, navigators can observe the stars, planets, moon and sun. The best guide is the North Star.

Navigators needed a clock that could tell time to the exact second. Every minute the clock was off could cause a mistake of about 20 miles in navigating. Most land clocks worked with a pendulum that swung back and forth in an exact rhythm. But at sea, the wind and waves caused the pendulum to break rhythm. Pendulum clocks never worked at sea because of the Pendulum clock motion of the ship.

People knew that the Earth takes HOURS TO ROTATE 7ITH THAT FACT they could figure out longitude. All they needed were two accurate clocks. One clock would tell the time at their home port. The other would tell the local time at sea. By comparing the times, navigators could tell how far east or west they’d gone. The only trouble was, in the early 1700s, there were no clocks that could keep accurate time at sea.
Clock troubles
In the Northern Hemisphere, sailors can figure out their latitude by looking for the North Star. Unlike other stars, it always appears in the same place in the night sky. It is a lot harder to figure out longitude. There is no fixed point in the east or west to navigate from. Sailors could estimate their longitude by checking the position of the moon and stars. But this method did not always work well.
