Description

A nineteenth century ephemeris that navigated history as much as the oceans. A trusted guide for mariners. Compiled for practical use at sea, The American Ephemeris And Nautical Almanac for the Year 1856 delivers the astronomical data 1856 that underwrote the era's celestial navigation. Serving as a maritime astronomy reference and a celestial navigation guide, it offers the historical navigation tables, classic maritime charts and methodical figures which turned sky observations into reliable bearings. The format is intensely practical: organised tables, predictable headings and cross-referenced columns that functioned as a navigators handbook for officers and a dependable sailing reference book for merchant captains. Today it reads simultaneously as a vintage mariner resource and an archival volume for any nautical almanac collection, a document of technique as much as of time. Read in sequence, its pages reveal how nineteenth century astronomical knowledge was rendered operable at sea, how observation and arithmetic became routine practice, and why precision mattered to voyages that crossed oceans. As an artefact of pre-Civil War America and mid-1800s navigation, the almanac has clear historical significance. Its pages map the transfer of astronomical knowledge into everyday seafaring and illuminate the technical language of nineteenth century seamanship, commerce and exploration. Casual readers attracted to maritime history, historical navigation tables or the romance of instruments and observation will find enduring fascination in its numerical voice; classic-literature collectors and maritime historians will prize the original data and the cultural context it preserves, a primary source for research into navigation practices and the period's scientific mind-set. Whether consulted as a navigators handbook, a study aid for celestial technique, or a touchstone in a nautical almanac collection, the volume rewards both casual browsing and serious study. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
