Find your way. History tells a story of man simply wanting to find his way. No journey to arduous, no path undiscoverable, we shall find our way. The compass was originally invented during the Chinese Han dynasty as a form of divination and later was used in the Song dynasty as maritime navigation. As compasses developed they have changed into a few different types; the dry compass was nothing more than a box and a a wind rose, the bearing compass was magnetic that worked off the lubber line and projected the direction based off minor math and manual calculations, later the compass evolved into a liquid based and due to its fluidity the needle was able to minimize the wobble. One of the most famous compasses is from 1854, Lewis and Clark's that got them across the continent.
