Compass

The axis of the compass seems to be shifted. When steering
exactly 270°, West and East don't aline (see first picture).
This is irrelevant if you can use an electronic compass. But
ships without electronic compass must be controlled by compass
itself, and then it is confusing when West and East are not on a
line (see second picture). Especially when wind indicators cover
the numbers, for example 10°, you must use the opposite side
190° to set the right course.
