Greenwich Meridian Kids Swim Shirt

Our children are our Prime Meridian, aren't they? The Greenwich Meridian Kids Swim Shirt shows the 0° 0' 0" longitude of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the origin of the Prime Meridian of the World. Every place on the Earth is measured in terms of its angle east or west from this line. After John Harrison invented the first seaworthy clocks, the Navy could finally determine longitude at sea accurately. The global system of latitude and longitude was born, with the observatory in Greenwich serving as the origination point. The Greenwich Meridian Kids Swim Shirt is a bold yet subtle celebration of the Prime Meridian, and the perfect swim shirt for any London lido, especially in Greenwich. The fabric of this swim shirt is sun-protective and the long body and sleeves make it perfect for running around outside.
