Nancy and I made a small vacation this week down to Pocomoke City, MD. We dined well at the Waterman's restrurant in Crisfield and visited the shops in Berlin. On the way home we hit the antique shops along the way and I bought some books and saw many that I didn't but considered. I found a paper bound "The Nature of Boats", by Dave Gerr and a 1930 copy of The American Practical Navigator, Published by the United States Hydrographic Office under the authority of the Secretary of the. Navy. Price $2.25 I paid ten. 
It is interesting to learn how many lighthouses there were in operation at that time. There is almost no mention of electrical aids to determining position at that time of publication. I have read well into the night many times with books published long before most of us were born and have never considered it to be time wasted.
