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. Review: Navigation Made Fun - 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. Review: An incredible true story! - This book just goes to show that the really good stories are not made up. Bowditch's story reads like a fiction novel never could! From indentured servitude to one of the most important men the Navy has ever had! This man, from the humblest of beginnings, change the way that navigation is done around the world. His impact is so great that his book of navigation is found on every US ship to this day! If ever you need confirmation of that, take a tour on the USS Midway and go through the map room. You'll find his book probably displayed on the shelves! We got the audio edition, and listen to it as a family. Very expertly red, the reader makes the book fun and interesting even for the Young ones! This is a book that we are very glad to have gotten, and we will definitely listen to this one again and again. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #8,362 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Teen & Young Adult United States Colonial & Revolutionary Period Historical Fiction #11 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Boys' & Men's Issues (Books) #47 in Teen & Young Adult Classic Literature | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,146 Reviews | ## Images ![Carry On, Mr. Bowditch: A Newbery Award Winner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wz+F9Zk4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## 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.
