Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Piloting is determining the position of a vessel by observations on known visible charted objects, or by soundings of the depth of the sea. Dead Reckoning, or the method of sailings, is a means of deducing a vessel's position from the direction and distance sailed from a previous known position. This method involves the rules of plane trigonometry.
