Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pugsley's New Guide to the United States Local Inspectors Examination of Masters and Mates of Ocean-Going Steam and Sailing Ships: Containing All Useful Information and Explaining How to Find Latitude and Longitude by Observation, and Many Other Useful Calculations Not Included in the Examination
This work is not only a complete guide to the United States Local Inspectors Examination of Masters and Mates, a treatise on 'navigation, nautical astronomy and law of storms, but a valuable text-book for the student and a handy work for the navigator to use as a reference.
At present, no other work is published which contains an exact list of questions given by the Examiners.
In the preparation of this work no effort has been spared in making the problems as plain and simple as possible, and the methods used are the most reliable, and can be performed with any epitome of navigation; but for convenience, only that of Bowditch and no other has been used in working out the various examples.
A complete set of problems, all of which are for the 1902 almanac, and cover every requirement of the applicant for a license as third, second, first mate, or master of either sail or steam vessels, will be found in these pages.
The examinations for third, second and chief mate are the same.
