Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is written for the seafaring community and is a treatise on astro-navigation techniques. The author, an experienced mariner, provides a detailed explanation of the 'New Navigation', a series of improvements to existing celestial navigation methods that were still relatively new in this period. The author begins with the basics and gradually builds up to complex scenarios like a double altitude sight followed by a run between sights, or obtaining a position by using the bearing and altitude of a celestial body and comparing it to known positions on land. The book was clearly well regarded by contemporary sailors and was likely very influential in disseminating these innovative navigation methods. It serves as a valuable historical record of how seafarers of that era navigated around the world.
