The following message was recently sent to "rete" (mailing-list,
primarily for curators and other denizens of science-inclined museums)
and may be of interest to some NavList members. I have copied it
across without asking for permission.



I know nothing more about it than what's stated below.

From: "Randall Brooks" 

The Canada Sci & Tech Museum recently published Setting Course: A
History of Marine Navigation in Canada  by one of our staff
historians,
Sharon Babaian.  Although primarily focused on marine navigation in
Canadian waters, the various types of navigational equipment discussed
by Sharon were in use elsewhere.  Those of you interested in marine
navigation may find this work useful for comparison of related issues
and technologies in American or European waters.

The abstract may be found at:
         www.sciencetech.technomuses.ca/english/about/trans_series.cfm

Setting Course: A History of Marine Navigation in Canada is #14 in the
Museum's Transformation Series.

A related work is Garth Wilson's History of Shipbuilding and Naval
Architecture in Canada, 1995. (#4 in the Transformation Series).

Randall Brooks.
