The accomplish'd ship-wright and mariner. [electronic resource] : Containing, the principels of geometry, measuring of board and timber: with the moulds and way of shaping the body of any ship; and how they burthen, by geometrical demonstation, and arithmetical proof. Also how to equip and navigate them. With a table of squares and cubes; and the extraction of the square and cube root; with their use. Also rules for finding the length of the masts-yards, rigging, &c. How to make the sails, proportion the anchors and cables: with usefull tables therein. And rules in sea gunnery. Together, with rules to find the prime, epact, and dominical-letter, fixed and moveable feasts, moons age, the time of high-water, with tables shewing the same for ever; with an account of the exact way of finding the southing, rising and setting of the moon, with the eclipse of the sun and moon; also a table of the suns declination. Also making the plain-scale, and its use in navigation; problems of plain and mercator sailing, wrought by the same, proved by arithmetick; the table of logerithms, signs and tangents; with rules how to keep a reckoning of a ship at sea. The description and use of the fore-staff, sea-quadrant, and nocturnal, with the demonstration of the sphere, and 19 problems in astromomy; how to calculate an eclipse of the sun and moon; with necessary obervations on the practick part of navigation. Likewise, tables of the right ascension of the sun, semi-diurnal arch of the sun, moon and stars. A table of the amplitude of the sun from the Equator to 90 degrees; the longitude latitude, right assension, &c. of many of the most notable stars; the rising, setting, and southing of the Pleiades; the declination of the North Star, rectified to the present time; the time of the rising and setting of twenty one stars of note. An astronomical account, by the rules of the ancient and modern astronomers, to judge of the weather. By John Hardingham, of Great Yarmouth. To which is added, a correct table of the latitude and longitude of the most noteable capes, head-lands and islands in the world. By John Thornton.
