$9.95
John E. Milligan wrote Celestial Navigation by H.O. 249 for navigators learning the method from scratch. Published by Cornell Maritime Press in 1974, the 101-page book walks through the tools, vocabulary and step-by-step techniques needed to take a sight and work it out using Pub. No. 249, the sight reduction tables most widely used by amateur navigators.
Its focus on a single table set keeps the explanations direct, which makes it a practical companion for sailors who want a working celestial backup to electronic navigation.
