A marine barometer, fashioned to look like a ship's wheel, stands out in a white background.  Whether you are the captain of a ship or someone merely interested in the weather, a barometer is a valuable tool for measuring and forecasting weather conditions.  The barometer, an instrument that measures atmospheric pressure, is typically used to signal stormy weather such as hurricanes; it is useful on the water as well as on land.  Vintage and retro barometers are often fashioned out of wood and can be quite artful; modern barometers tend to have sleeker lines and are more focused on utility.
