Publisher's Synopsis
""Tables For Facilitating The Determination Of The Latitude At Sea By The Simultaneous Altitudes Of Two Stars"" is a book written by Charles Frederick A. Shadwell in 1849. The book contains a set of tables that are designed to help sailors determine their latitude while at sea using the simultaneous altitudes of two stars. The tables were created to simplify the process of celestial navigation, which was a critical skill for sailors in the 19th century. The book includes detailed instructions on how to use the tables and how to calculate latitude based on the data obtained from the stars. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of navigation and the development of maritime technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
