A History of Nautical Astronomy
Charles H. CotterIf you want to know what nautical navigation is all about. Books on the history of navigation too often contain wonderful color pictures of historical nautical instruments but fail in informing you how they were used and why.

This is the best book I ever saw on the history of nautical navigation.
