The Maritime Scholars Collection

In recent maritime history, Nathaniel Bowditch's meticulous "The American Practical Navigator" laid the foundation for precision navigation, while Benjamin Dutton's practical "Dutton's Navigation and Piloting" refined these methods for practical use. Farewell's innovative "Farewell's Rule of the Road at Sea" then codified the rules governing ship traffic, together forming an indomitable trio of navigation scholars, shaping the way mariners navigate the world's vast oceans.
