The SS Nautilus was launched in 1890 having been built by J McArthur Paisley at Yard No. 60. It was a steamship of 360 gross tons with a length of 130 feet. The ship was British flagged registered at Cape Town, owned by F.J. Webster, of that city. Ownership changed in 1895 to Webster & Co. Cape Town; 1898 to Smith & Webster, Cape Town; 1899 to F.W.Smith, Cape Town. The Nautilus was wrecked on 12 March 1919 on Possession Island inward from Cape Town. Condition Report Overall the chronometer is in good condition and working. As noted in the description the mahogany case may be later. It is stylistically correct. It appears to have been repolished. The polish to the inside has a chalk grain filler which was mainly used in the Edwardian era. The external surfaces have virtually none visible. The lower pair of hinges have recently been replaced as the previous pair were broken. They could be aged as they are bright. There are two slight cracks about the star escutcheon on the lower tier. Has the lock been forced previously?The dial has some slight discolouration to its edge and very slight spotting across the surface. The movement is running. Finely made blued steel hands. The bowl has a dent in one side (see additional image). A screw from the front bowl mount pivot is a modern replacement. The brass furniture is attractively lacquered with a deep golden coloured lacquer.
