While I'm thinking of it, Ger Tysk (or anyone else), do you have any information on Nakahama John Manjiro's translation of Nathaniel Bowditch's "New American Practical Navigator"? I'm a fan of Manjiro's story, and, of course, interested in navigation. I have heard that none of the translations survive, but that could easily be wrong. Are there any portions that have survived? Any commentaries on it or reviews of it?
