Description:

Part history of navigation and part project guide, this unique book includes step-by-step building instructions, full-size patterns, and instructions for use for 18 historic navigation tools that can be built easily and inexpensively. Projects include the kamal, latitude hook, astrolabe, quadrant, astronomical ring, sundial, nocturnal, cross-staff, backstaff, dry-card compass, traverse board, hand lead, heaving line, chip log, weather glass, pelorus, sun compass, and octant. Some of these projects are more decorative and educational than useful, but others are important and practical tools for small-craft navigation.
