ISBN10: 152673169X, ISBN13: 9781526731692, [publisher: Pen and Sword Maritime] Hardcover Hardback, 224 pagesPublished Price £25 Today travellers by land, sea and air take accurate navigation for granted but it was not always thus. The author, a highly experienced sailor, sets out to record the development of navigational techniques from the earliest time, five millenniums ago. As explorers started to venture offshore into the unknown they had to rely on the sun and stars for direction. From this pioneers turned to mathematics, astrolobes, sextants and increasing accurate clocks to measure latitude and later longitude. More recently major breakthroughs with electronic navigation, GPS and other satellite systems have revolutionised travel. [Uckfield, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 2018]

ISBN10: 152673169X, ISBN13: 9781526731692, [publisher: Pen & Sword] Hardcover When sailors first ventured out of sight of land, they had only the sun and the stars to guide them. Illustrated with prints, photographs, maps and diagrams, this chronological survey records the development of increasingly accurate navigational instruments, from the simple cross-staff, through Harrison's chronometer – the first timepiece accurate enough to measure longitude – to today's satellite positioning systems.
