Review
"A book of this nature has been a need for many years and the author has made a praiseworthy attempt to cover bowsprit to stern walk, from truck to keel, in the heavens above and the waters beneath all in one book at a price within the reach of most seafarers, to whom it will be a valuable acquisition" - The Journal of the Institute of Navigation.
