## Description

Readers today are still fascinated by “Nat,? an eighteenth-century nautical wonder and mathematical wizard. Nathaniel Bowditch grew up in a sailor?s world—Salem in the early days, when tall-masted ships from foreign ports crowded the wharves. But Nat didn?t promise to have the makings of a sailor; he was too physically small. Nat may have been slight of build, but no one guessed that he had the persistence and determination to master sea navigation in the days when men sailed only by “log, lead, and lookout.? Nat?s long hours of study and observation, collected in his famous work, The American Practical Navigator (also known as the “Sailors? Bible?), stunned the sailing community and made him a New England hero.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Navigation Made Fun
*by K***R on February 24, 2026*

Embark on a whirlwind adventure over the highseas in the life of Nathaniel Bowditch. He was a clever man and frankly made me sad that my ability to do math is so abysmal. Great book though. Also good for educational purposes, as the author is a foremost authority in historical studies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read. Good primer for new sailors.
*by D***L on October 5, 2025*

Excellent read. Very informative.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic to keep!
*by I***N on May 8, 2026*

The biggest strength of the book is its inspiring true-life story and strong theme of perseverance. Nat Bowditch is portrayed as extremely determined—even after being forced to leave school early, he teaches himself advanced math, languages, and navigation. His journey shows how curiosity and discipline can lead to extraordinary achievement.
