"The Whole Art of Navigation, London, 1701" -- A Nautical Treasure Returns to New London

How a 351-page book explaining the fundamentals of navigation, printed in London in 1701 and once owned by Captain James Rogers of New London, was sold by his heirs and vanished until it returned to the Captain's hometown two centuries later.

Chapter headings appear at the right. They also appear at the bottom of each chapter for easy navigation in either direction.
