Navigering og sømandsskab

Jens Kusk Jensen (1866-1936) stod til søs som 17-årig og læste siden til styrmand. Elleve år tog det ham at skrive førsteudgaven af Haandbog i Praktisk Sømandsskab, fire gange led skibe, Kusk Jensen var med på, skibbrud, og manuskripterne gik tabt. Førsteudgaven udkom i 1901, men stadig blev der skrevet og ikke mindst tegnet videre på værket, og udgaven fra 1924 blev den endelige med dens mange detail-illustrationer . En kæmpe bedrift og et hovedværk i maritim dansk litteratur. En guldgrube for alle der interesserer sig for de gamle skibe – eller selv sejler med sejl. Bogen giver svar på alle spørgsmål, der angår sejlskibe: om rigning, sejl, ankre, manøvrering, stuvning af last, om haveri, stillinger og skikke om bord, de gamle kommadoer – endda på flere sprog – vejledning i sejlmagerarbejde og mere til. Udgaven her er et præcist og komplet fotografisk optryk af originalen. Den er desuden blevet forsynet med et stikordsregister, der gør det ud for en maritim ordbog og giver mulighed for nemt at finde rundt.

Der er mange situationer, hvor det kan være enormt godt at kunne sine knob og stik. Hvis du er sejler, spejder eller lignende, skal du kunne binde det rigtige knob, og det er der heldigvis råd for. Knob & Stik samler den nødvendige viden om knob, stik, splejsninger, taklinger og tovværk for sejlere, spejdere og andre friluftsfolk, som skal kunne slå det rette knob i en given situation.Nils Trautner står bag bogen, hvor det trin for trin vises, hvordan man skal gå frem for at opnå det korrekte resultat, ligesom bogen fortæller, hvilke forholdsregler man skal tage, når man vælger tovværk. En klassiker – udkom første gang i 1964.Ny udgave med nyt omslag og produceret i stenpapir. Stenpapir er et bæredygtigt alternativ til almindeligt papir. Stenpapir er lavet af kalk og HDPE, hvilket gør papiret naturligt hvidt, slidstærkt og vandafvisende og oplagt af tage med ud at sejle eller med ud i naturen.

The dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest and of one man's forty-year obsession to find a solution to the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day--"the longitude problem."Anyone alive in the eighteenth century would have known that "the longitude problem" was the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day-and had been for centuries. Lacking the ability to measure their longitude, sailors throughout the great ages of exploration had been literally lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land. Thousands of lives and the increasing fortunes of nations hung on a resolution. One man, John Harrison, in complete opposition to the scientific community, dared to imagine a mechanical solution-a clock that would keep precise time at sea, something no clock had ever been able to do on land. Longitude is the dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest and of Harrison's forty-year obsession with building his perfect timekeeper, known today as the chronometer. Full of heroism and chicanery, it is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation, and clockmaking, and opens a new window on our world.

Georg Stage blev søsat i 1882 og var det første civile skoleskib, hvor uddannelsen udelukkende foregik til søs.I bogen beskrives de elementer, skibet og skolen arbejder med i hverdagen, og hvordan de har udviklet sig siden begyndelsen i 1882. Hvad er det for et erhverv, skibet uddanner til? Hvordan har skolen udviklet sig? Hvordan har skibet forandret sig? Og hvad er det for nogle elever, der kommer om bord? Bogen er fyldt med fantastiske nye og gamle billeder, som viser skibet gennem tiden, dagligdagen om bord og de mennesker, som har været en del af Georg Stage gennem historien.Historien om Skoleskibet Georg Stage er fortællingen om, hvordan sejlskibe, mennesker og de rigtige ideer kan smelte sammen og gøre verden til et bedre sted.

In today's world, Soldiers rely heavily on their GPS. What are you going to do if you run out of batteries or the satellites go down? You better know how to use a map and compass. Land Navigation is the skill that sets apart the Army's elite Soldiers from the average Soldiers.Unfortunately, the Army doesn't do a very good job of teaching land navigation. This book will be your ultimate trainer. Whether you just want to improve your navigation skills for hunting and hiking or you aspire to attend the Army's toughest schools and selection courses, this is the book for you.The skills in this book range from basic to advanced. The "Basic" section of the book covers the fundamentals and basic skills necessary to be able to navigate. Much of that information is also found in FM's and Soldier's Manuals, which are very few in print these days with everything being digital. The "Advanced" section covers field expedient methods, route planning as well as tips and tricks and a section on the Ranger School Land Nav course and the SFAS Land Nav course.The contributors to this book were Ranger Instructors, Special Forces, and a 1st SFOD-D officer. They completed many Army land nav courses including the most difficult land nav tests the Army has to offer. I think you'll find their insight helpful and useful. If you apply what is in this book you will be the best Soldier at Land Nav in your unit and won't have any problem with basic and advanced course land nav tests, EIB land nav, or Ranger, SFAS, and Delta Selection.

At first glance there seems to be a fragmented nature of the maritime digital solution market, yet, after reading this book the 'big picture' becomes clear and everything is put into the right context. Over the last decades, and after numerous projects, committee work, and industry initiatives (all described in this book), the contours of E-navigation eventually distilled to a clear structure. On one hand the E-navigation framework provides reliable guidance, but on the other hand leaves sufficient flexibility for further technological and also procedural advancements. Realisations of E-navigation are in use already, being closely linked e.g. with modern integrated ship-bridges, the layout of information on navigational screens, Maritime Single Windows, port-call optimisation platforms, even the entire multi-modal transport chain. Next to the initiatives is Europe, special attention is given to the enormous E-navigation project in the Republic of Korea, targeted to facilitate the country's transition from a ship-building nation to a leader in the maritime digital world. The book not only take s an actual summary of the E-navigation development, but also highlights benefits and opportunities for various stakeholders. The target group includes those operating the ships at sea and at port, business prime movers, formative maritime authorities, and researchers.
