    It would probably be useful to you to get a copy of the Nautical Almanac from 
    that period. Then you'll be able to see exactly which data were being 
    published. There are a bunch of old Nautical Almanacs on Google Books. I've 
    got some links to some examples here:

    and there are many more available at Google Books if you search around a bit.
