Taylors Modern Navigation PDF Download

Excerpt from Taylor's Modern Navigation The part relating to the finding of the deviation of the compass will be found to fit any case, no matter what the class of vessel. This section is important, owing to the use of iron and steel in the construction of modern vessels. This part also contains a de scription of the different kinds of Pelorus and other instruments used in the taking of bearings, and azimuths, with rules for using the same, written in very plain language, - very necessary knowl edge for the bridge officer. Chart-work and coast navigation has been thoroughly gone over, and many matters connected with the same, not generally known to seamen, have been introduced, especially those matters relating to the proper application and use of deviation when taking bear ings and finding the course to steer.
