Synopsis
The Coefficient of Safety in Navigation explains how measurement errors and safety margins affect a ship’s position at sea.
This historical study analyzes the limits of chronometers, the reliability of observations, and the real-world uncertainty sailors face when determining longitude and course. The book frames navigation as a practical problem, balancing theory with data from wrecks, chronometer tests, and voyage records. It shows how small errors can grow into large deviations, and it offers methods sailors can use to improve accuracy without chasing false precision.
- How average error and safety coefficients are calculated and interpreted
- What chronometer tests reveal about movement, temperature, and seaworthiness
- How sailors use the lead, soundings, and dead reckoning to fix position
- Common compass deviations and the impact of currents and leeway on navigation

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the long history of seafaring disasters and investigates their root causes. By examining historical records and official inquiries, the author uncovers patterns and trends in the types of accidents that have occurred at sea over centuries. The author argues that the majority of these disasters were preventable and caused by human error rather than by uncontrollable natural events. The book emphasizes the need for improved training and safety measures in navigation and discusses the role of insurance fraud in contributing to the high incidence of shipwrecks. Ultimately, the book challenges the idea that these disasters are inevitable and calls for a reassessment of our approach to maritime safety.
