Sailors use telescopes of long-focal length to sight distant ships and landfalls. Most eighteenth-century telescopes of this sort had drawtubes made of wood or cardboard. Nineteenth-century instruments were made with brass drawtubes covered with rope, wood or canvas. Most nautical telescopes have a multi-element eyepiece that shows an erect image. And since John Dollond's British patent of 1758, most have been equipped with an achromatic objective lens.
