About this title

Synopsis

Master navigation tools for finding latitude and longitude

Explore a comprehensive 19th‑century reference that pairs large tables with practical instruction for using celestial data, trigonometry, and nautical astronomy in navigation.

This edition compiles essential tables and explanations for calculating positions at sea, combining the Nautical Almanac with trigonometric methods. It’s designed for mariners and students who want a grounded, practical reference that can be used alongside navigational instruments.

• Learn how to convert longitude and time, and apply parallax and altitude corrections at sea.
• See step‑by‑step methods for reducing sun, moon, and planetary positions to a given time and meridian.
• Access extensive tables that support latitude and longitude determinations, meridional parts, and star data.
• Find guidance on auxiliary calculations, time corrections, and voyage planning using historical navigation techniques.

Ideal for readers of maritime history and students studying classical navigation methods who value detailed tables and practical, experience‑based instruction.
