ST MICHAELS, MD – On Saturday and Sunday, November 16 & 17, 2019 the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum will welcome Capt. David Bell, a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed Master mariner, to lead a two-day course on celestial navigation.
Bell has been teaching and using celestial navigation, or the practice of navigating and determining one’s position at sea by using the sun, moon, and stars, for more than 40 years. He’s most recently worked at the State University of New York Maritime College and is the author of The Celestial Navigation Mystery: Solved.
Held in CBMM’s Van Lennep Auditorium from 10am–4pm both days, the cost for this program is $350, with a 20% discount offered to CBMM members, which includes a copy of Bell’s book. Registration is required to cbmm.org/celestialnavigation. The purchase of a Davis Master Sextant Mark 15 is optional, but can also be made using the link above.
