	The Compass Rose
		Before the compass became a common navigational instrument in the thirteenth century a "wind rose" was included on charts.
		Originally, this device was used to indicate the directions of the winds (and it was then known as a wind rose), but the 32 points of the compass rose come from the directions of the eight major winds, the eight half-winds and the sixteen quarter-winds.
		The central feature of the design is the ornate compass rose with its long North arrow, and the tiny picture, probably of Adolphus Frederick, who ruled Sweden from 1751-1711, at the center of the rose.
