More importantly - can anyone list a website that explains:

1. how \ where to find those 57 stars and
2. how to use them for navigation

I was only aware of polaris, the southern cross and orion's belt as
navigational stars.

Astro Navigators would be pretty stuck with only those stars to guide
them. You need a minimum of 3 stars, preferably widely spaced to get
good angles of cut for a halfway decent position.

Polaris can give you a pretty fair latitude on its own but not a
longitude. And only in the Northern hemisphere. The Crux can give
you a fair idea of where South is but only in the southern hemisphere.
