Though contemporary sailors generally use electronic systems to
orient themselves, the sextant is far from redundant. This purest
of all nautical instruments, which allows seafarers to accurately
determine their global position alone and without the aid of modern
technology, is still required equipment on all commercial trading
vessels; should electronic systems fail, a sextant can make the
difference between disaster and survival. In this invaluable
tutorial for beginning navigators, Pike clearly and efficiently
explains the use and care of the sextant.
