Position-line Star Tables

"Position-line Star Tables" by H.B. Goodwin is a practical guide designed for navigators seeking to determine a ship's position using celestial observations. This resource offers a method of fixing position by reducing observations to the meridian and prime vertical, eliminating the need for logarithmic calculations. It serves as a valuable tool for mariners, providing essential data in a readily accessible format to simplify the process of celestial navigation.

This book caters to those who prefer direct, arithmetical solutions in navigation. It emphasizes efficient and accurate position determination, making it a crucial reference for anyone involved in maritime navigation or interested in the history and techniques of seafaring.
