Description
Nat Bowditch was an eighteenth-century nautical wonder and mathematical wizard. Growing up in Salem, he found himself at odds with his physical limitations as a sailor. However, Nat's persistence and determination allowed him to master sea navigation in a time when men relied on traditional methods. His groundbreaking work, The American Practical Navigator, stunned the sailing community and earned him recognition as a New England hero. This remarkable story showcases Nat's dedication to learning and his impact on the world of navigation.
