1868 Norie Practical Navigation Sea Voyages MAPS

1868 Norie Practical Navigation Sea Voyages MAPS Illustrated Compass Charts RARE

John William Norie was an early 19th-century nautical navigator known for his educational courses on navigation and sea voyaging. He recognized a severe lack in quality of educational materials on teaching navigation, so he wrote and published his own work – ‘Practical Navigation’. The DNB notes that

“Norie’s charst and books, particularly the ‘Tables’ and ‘Epitome’, made his name well known among seamen for nearly two centuries, a success due to his teaching ability, prolific output, and commercial shrewdness.”

A very rare edition featuring full-page maps, charts, illustrations of navigational instruments, and compass.
