Just a reminder, the complete Nautical Almanac for the year 1804 is online on the Mystic Seaport Library web site. The address for the complete collection of digitized documents is
http://www.mysticseaport.org/library/initiative/MsList.cfm
If you scroll down to "imprints", you will find the 1804 almanac about two-thirds of the way down the list.
And take a look just below the almanac listing... There's a complete copy of Norie's Epitome of Navigation there, too. It's the 1828 edition. If you've never browsed a "Norie" before, it's a lot like a "Bowditch", and some would say better. There's plenty of juicy stuff for the loony lunarians especially but also anyone else interested in 19th century navigation methods.
