Man has sailed the seas for centuries without really knowing where they were. It was only in the late eighteenth century that the invention of the chronometer allowed sailors to pin point their location. This factual story of the development and refinement of this important instrument makes for an interesting read. If you like to sail, are interested in technical things or are just plain curious about the things around us you will find this and both interesting and informative.
