A SEAMAN'S GUIDE TO BASIC CHARTWORK. By Morgans Technical Books Pbk, 0.4kgs, 206mM x 145mm, 297 pages, monochrome drawings. 3rd edition 1990. Now includes practice chart 5050.
The prime duty of the Navigating Officer, after he has satisfied himself that his ship is on her proper course, is to ensure that she is navigated with complete safety, avoiding all hazards whether natural or man-made, static or moving. This demands skilled seamanship, involving the ability to assess, reliably and consistently, what the ship's position is at the moment and what it will be after a short interval of time. In coastal and in crowded waters the result must be arrived at not only with a high degree of accuracy but also at high speed.
To teach the student the way to do it, the Royal Navy and the Merchant Navy, following the success of A SEAMAN"S GUIDE TO THE RULE OF THE ROAD, have again worked together, using the same technique of programmed instruction, to produce a similar guide, this time on the use of the chart. The book provides instruction both in the principles of navigation and in the way to use, with speed and accuracy, all the various techniques involved in putting those principles into practice. The method is to involve the student, from the beginning, in the solution of practical problems and to allow the principles to emerge naturally from the practice.
