Early sailors used the sun, stars, and wind to guide them.
The eight winds became the point on the "wind rose" used by classical sailors.
After the magnetic compass came out, the compass needle was inlaid with a picture of a wind rose, forming a "compass rose".
The north point is indicated by an arrow and the letter T, representing the north wind Tramontana.
In the 15th century, these two symbols were merged into "fleur-de lys".
