'Glass' is a marine sandglass known since the 14th century
In long-distance navigation through the open ocean, the sandglass or "glass" used to measure the time was a tool as important as the compass. Filled with the amount of sand suitable for measuring a lapse of half an hour, each time the sand emptied was also called a "glass"; eight glasses (four hours) defined a "watch". The times determined by the sandglass, along with the record in the logbook of the speed measured with the "chip log", permitted the ship's navigator to plot his map position. Multiplying the ship's speed by the time the course had been kept (measured with the glass), gave traveled distance, a simple, overall method termed dead reckoning.
The use of marine sandglass continued through the early 19th century, when they were supplanted by reliable mechanical timepieces, and by other advances in marine navigation.
