The United States Naval Observatory published its first annual volume in 1845, and since 1861 it has yearly issued a volume of observations, results, and discussions, so that Volume XXII (22) was published in 1875. These volumes have on average about 500 pages, and contain the official reports of the Superintendent to the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department; the annual introductions to the observations with each instrument; the detailed observations with each instrument, and their reductions; the results of such observations; and finally one or more appendixes which are special discussions of points in practical or theoretical astronomy.

As one of the oldest scientific institutions in the United States, the US Naval Observatory has a rich and colourful history. This volume is, first and foremost, a story of the relations between space, time and navigation, from the rise of the chronometer in the United States to the Global Positioning System of satellites, for which the Naval Observatory provides the time to a billionth of a second per day. It is a story of the history of technology, in the form of telescopes, lenses, detectors, calculators, clocks and computers over 170 years. It describes how one scientific institution under government and military patronage has contributed, through all the vagaries of history, to almost two centuries of unparalleled progress in astronomy. Sky and Ocean Joined will appeal to historians of science, technology, scientific institutions and American science, as well as astronomers, meteorologists and physicists.
