Nantucket Tide Clock, 16.50" Diameter (M.A.P. $74)
The Nantucket tide clock is expertly crafted with Birch that has been laser-cut to precisely replicate the bathymetry of the Nantucket Sound. The wood pieces are hand-stained to give visual depth to the water in contrast to the land and have points of interest etched in detail to inspire further exploration. The 3D wood map clock comes ready to hang.
What is a tide clock and how does it work?
Fun facts: The lunar day is 24 hours and 50 minutes long & the moon is the biggest influence of the tides! Since there are two high tides each lunar day our tide clocks rotate every 12 hours and 25 minutes. Quartz tide clocks are perfect for the more predictable tides of the Eastern United States. You can always set your tide clock by either a quick internet search for high tide in your area for the next high tide or set it monthly at the full or new moon.
