Description
1851 American Navigator MAPS Bowditch Voyage Sailing Illustrated Navigation



Nathaniel Bowditch shipped out in 1795 on the first of five voyages to the East Indies. He spent his time pouring over the standard navigational tables prepared by John Hamilton Moore of England. After finding over 8,000 errors in Morriss work on navigation he produced his own title on the subject New American Practical Navigator. Howes calls this the "First accurate navigators guide." This volume also includes information on navigational law, measurement, and terminology serving as an encyclopedia of navigation becoming a handbook on oceanography and meteorology and containing useful tables and a maritime glossary.
