These seem to be very good results. My 1963 edition of Burton's Tables has this to say in the first paragraph of the Notes:
"An extensive investigation into the degree of accuracy normally obtained in the practice of astronomical position-finding at sea has indicated that the average inaccuracy in a position line produced by the average observer is 0'.7, and that one in twenty such position lines may be as much as 3'.0 in error."
