SCA-OBJ-318

A large cedar and brass navigation cabinet permanently installed within the Western Navigation Hall of the Strange Collectables Archive. The structure serves as storage for maritime charts lanterns navigation instruments and historical route records. During restoration following prolonged storm damage concealed compartments and hidden backing spaces were discovered behind the internal cabinet framework. These spaces contained previously undocumented hand-drawn star charts alignment calculations and navigation sketches attributed to the Archive Keeper. The recovered records reference alignment intervals bell cycles and a recurring phrase concerning the return of western stars and the opening of doors beneath the sea. The cabinet itself displays no anomalous behavior. However its repeated use as a repository for hidden observational records suggests it may have functioned as a deliberate archival cache during previous alignment cycles. Continued examination of recovered documents remains ongoing.
