I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">a housing for a ship's compass</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for binnacle that I've seen before include "Casing for ship's compass" , "Container for ship's compass" , "Clean bin to hold ship's compass" , "It houses a ship's compass" , "Compass location" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
