A mast is a tall vertical pole used on boats, ships, or certain vehicles to support sails or other equipment like flags. Typically made of wood, metal, or fiberglass, it rises above the deck of the vessel. The mast helps to catch the wind in sails, allowing the boat or ship to move forward. It also provides support for rigging, which includes ropes or wires that control the position of the sails or other attached equipment. The height and strength of the mast are important for stability and performance.

A compass is a small device used to show direction. It consists of a magnetic needle that always points to the Earth's magnetic north. Compasses are commonly used for navigation, helping people find their way when traveling in unfamiliar areas. The device typically has a circular dial marked with the four main directions—north, south, east, and west—and sometimes additional markings for more precise directions. Compasses are used in activities like hiking, boating, and map reading to determine orientation and guide movement.
