It's a salutary tale of the
dreadful state of Royal Navy navigation, in 1707. How things had changed by
Cook's day, half a century later!
Or how Cook was quite another navigator.
Yes, that paper is only 47 years old, so I suppose that copyright
restrictions apply, strictly speaking, and I should really have pointed that
out. Readers should respect that. It has here been made available for the
purpose of academic discussion, but should not be disseminated further, and
it might be wise for Frank to make it unavailable again after it's had time
to serve its purpose.
