Checking Cargo Ship Compass Error With The Sun | Life At Sea

Life At Sea In The Merchant Marine Aboard A Cargo Ship Modern cargo ships still utilize celestial navigation on a daily basis by taking azimuths of the sun or other celestial bodies to verify gyro compass error. Utilizing the Nautical Almanac or computer programs such as Sky Mate, watch officers are able to compare the observed azimuths to the true azimuths to ensure the compasses are accurate for navigation. Special thanks to 2022 USMMA cadet David Roper for his help with this video! #celestialnavigation #maritime #lifeatsea
