[William F. Fenn]

 Here is a magnetic declination calculator that will calculate back to 1750

In 1800 the declination was towards the East

The magnetic pole continues wandering and now the shift has gotten enough at
the Tampa International Airport that the FAA is renumbering the main runway.

Some pundits speculate that there will be a huge shift and the north and
south poles with change places.  We would have the quandary of what to do
with all the permanent magnets we have and whether we would need to
re-magnetize them, what to do with the right hand rule, battery plus and
minus markings etc.  I doubt we will have to deal with this though.
