Finding longitude at sea wasn’t just a breakthrough—it was a revolution. For centuries, sailors drifted across oceans with no way to know how far east or west they’d gone. Shipwrecks, mutiny, and vanished fleets all traced back to one unsolved question: Where are we?
This FOM 9 sticker commemorates the moment that changed everything. At its heart: a lone sailing ship encircled by an ornate celestial clock—part astrolabe, part myth, all homage to the minds that cracked the code. The year 1741 marks the turning point, when John Harrison’s marine chronometer began to prove what kings and cartographers doubted: that time could hold the key to place.
Decorated in intricate baroque detailing, the design nods to the sheer complexity and brilliance of solving the "Longitude Problem"—a feat so monumental it recharted the world and redrew the lines of empire.
