When I started to study CN seriously last year, I was surprised to learn how short and turbulent the history of CN has been. I started working on a timeline for the history of marine navigation, focussed primarily on CN for now. My first crude attempt at imaging the timeline is at http://jimthompson.net/boating/CelestialNav/NavHistory.htm and the underlying data set is at http://jimthompson.net/boating/CelestialNav/CelestNotes/CelestNavHistory.htm #Timeline. I hasten to add that this is only an amateur hobby thing, not a scholarly work. But quibbles will make so, hence are welcome.
