Hopefully that includes everyone in this group and I know it applies to Tim. I got my first copy sometime back in the early 70s and still refer to it once in a while. I have two copies of "American Practical Navigator" - one published in 1914 and the latest that has all the more modern changes. The differences between the two are significant. My Paternal Grandfather had a copy of "The New American Practical Navigator" which was the book that Bowditch's AMP is based on. It was written in 1802. It now resides in the Peabody Museum in Salem, MA. Personally, Chapman's is great for all around boating, but Bowditch is the Master Course. :) Do you have a copy of Dutton's also? My copy dates back to the 70s or 80s. I believe it was the official navigation text at the the US Naval Academy at that time but I always found Bowditch more useful for most things. Dutton's had information on electronic navigation but that's way out of date at this point. No, but my brother has the copy my Dad had along with a WWII Bluejacket manual which is also kind of interesting. :) Are you related to the SW Tom who wasn't going to post here? :) Does it matter? |
