Summary

This revised edition follows the previous editions in giving a practical guide to navigation and pilotage which, although written primarily for naval officers, will be suitable for all students of navigation. Astronomical navigation and meteorology can be read in Volume II of this manual.
The quality of detailed thoroughness that has always distinguished this book is retained, and it has been brought up to date, particularly in the chapters on radio aids to navigation and navigational instruments.
