Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal

Aguhon is a Tagalog translation of a compass. Since the locus of (AIMS) Museo Maritimo is maritime history and heritage, the adoption of a compass to signify the academic journal complements the identity and story of the museum. A compass is a necessary instrument for navigation. It guided sailors through centuries. In conjunction to the purpose of a compass, Aguhon: A Philippine Maritime History and Heritage Journal also intends to support and navigate maritime related studies in the Philippines.
