Until the mid-1750s, accurate navigation at sea out of sight of land was an unsolved problem due to the difficulty in calculating longitude.
🧵
ALT Marine timekeeper, H1. This is the first experimental marine timekeeper made by John Harrison in Barrow-on-Humber between 1730 and 1735 as a first step towards solving the longitude problem and winning the great £20,000 prize offered by the British Government.
In the 18th century, the problem of determining __________ at sea became solvable thanks to the development of accurate chronometers.

Ahoy! 👋
We at @CAPSTANgames are currently working on @AhoyGame!
Ahoy is our love letter to the maritime history of the late 18th century, and the lives of ordinary people throughout this tumultuous, often troubling time in history.
We believe education and video games provide a unique ability to teach people about real historical events in a safe, and importantly, considerate way.
In Ahoy, you will sail the Caribbean in search of fame and fortune, and explore real locations as they were nearly 250 years ago.
For more information about what we're doing at Capstan Games, please visit the Ahoy website:

Additionally, any business or investor enquiries are welcome via email:

Safe sailing!

Additionally, we're trying out a new format where members of the team explain and show off their part of the project in a bit more detail, and in video form!
This month, we're taking a look at sound design with Andrew Van Hassel:
