Navigation Tables

From collection Penobscot Marine Museum Archives

Navigation Tables

Two tables for celestial navigation, glued to the endpapers of a blank book. One table accounts for the height of the navigator's eye above the sea, and the other lists corrections for the sun's declination. There is a hole through one of the pages and a coverboard as if the book had been nailed to a worksurface.
