Five centuries ago, celestial navigation guides explained how to find latitude using the sun or Pole Star. Siebren van der Werf and Dick Huges revive these techniques for modern sailors, with updated declination tables, daylight period data, and tools for finding longitude. Dick Huges’ Trans-Atlantic journey illustrates these methods.
