Most large ships - and even small boats! - navigate today using GPS. However most large ships still carry sextants, compasses and charts, and the Captain and officers have at least the minimal skill to use them -- in case the GPS electronics fail. Some years ago I was on a Windjammer Barefoot cruise -- not what most people think about as a "curise ship". The first mate gave a lecture and demonstration of using a sextant. Amazing the detail required. Everything from the stage of the tide to the height of the deck above water level went into the calculation. And, oh yes, you need an accurate clock in addition to sextant and compass! -- |
