Most of these terminals comprise the Strong Republic Nautical Highway, a nautical system conceptualized under the term of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo where land vehicles can use the roll-on / roll-off ( Ro-Ro ) ship service to traverse the different islands of the country at minimal costs.

Next, Tōgō was sent to Plymouth, where he was assigned as a cadet on HMS Worcester, which was part of the Thames Nautical Training College, in 1872.

On November of that year, Puerto Rico's Commerce and Foment Joint selected him to be work as a professor in a Nautical School, where he taught Maritime Studies.

Her Majesty's Nautical Almanac Office ( HMNAO ), now part of the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office, was established in 1832 on the site of the Royal Greenwich Observatory ( RGO ), where the Nautical Almanac had been published since 1767.

In 1877 he became director of the Nautical Almanac Office where, ably assisted by George William Hill, he embarked on a program of recalculation of all the major astronomical constants.

He returned to England to join HM Nautical Almanac Office at the Royal Greenwich Observatory where he became deputy superintendent in 1926.

This was one the first projects that led to the development of the field of Nautical Archaeology, along with the excavation of the Viking Skuldelev ships at Roskilde in 1962, and the discovery and raising of the Swedish warship the Vasa ( ship ) in 1961.

Nautical charts are essential tools for marine navigation ; many countries require vessels, especially commercial ships, to carry them.

This page from a Sailing Directions assists the navigator by providing pictures and descriptions of a harbor approach. The term Nautical publications is used in maritime circles to describe a set of publications, generally published by national governments, for use in safe navigation of ships, boats, and similar vessels.

The Wallaroo Heritage and Nautical Museum has information about the ships that sailed to the area as well as ' George The Giant Squid '.

Two second-magnitude stars, Alpha Pavonis and Epsilon Carinae, were assigned the proper names Peacock and Avior respectively in 1937 by Her Majesty's Nautical Almanac Office during the creation of The Air Almanac, a navigational almanac for the Royal Air Force.

First to the scene were 116 cadets under the direction of Lieutenant Commander H. J. Copeland from USS Nantucket, a training ship of the Massachusetts Nautical School ( which is now the Massachusetts Maritime Academy ), that was docked nearby at the playground pier.

::“ It is truly a whimsical supposition that, if mankind were agreed in considering utility to be the test of morality, they would remain without any agreement as to what is useful, and would take no measures for having their notions on the subject taught to the young, and enforced by law and opinion … to consider the rules of morality as improvable, is one thing ; to pass over the intermediate generalisations entirely, and endeavour to test each individual action directly by the first principle, is another … The proposition that happiness is the end and aim of morality, does not mean that no road ought to be laid down to that goal … Nobody argues that the art of navigation is not founded on astronomy, because sailors cannot wait to calculate the Nautical Almanack.

In 1990, the Orbital Mechanics Department and Astronomical Applications Department were established, and Nautical Almanac Office became a division of the Astronomical Applications Department.

They were planned and organized by the Sub-Committee for Nautical Sports.

In 1838 he published a revision of the lunar theory, entitled Fundamenta nova investigationis, & c., and the improved Tables of the Moon (" Hansen's Lunar Tables ") based upon it were printed in 1857, at the expense of the British government, their merit being further recognized by a grant of £ 1000, and by their adoption in the Nautical Almanac as from the issue for the year 1862, and other Ephemerides.

However, his major hobbies were astronomy and mathematics, and after coming up with a new method for using lunar occultation to measure longitude he came to the attention of Thomas Young, superintendent of the Royal Navy's " Nautical Almanac ".

Nautical charts before the " official " discovery identified islands in the Atlantic Ocean as far back as 1325, when a chart by Angelino Dalorto identified " Bracile " west of Ireland, and later one by Angelino Dulcert which identifies the Canaries, and Madeira, along with mysterious islands denominated as " Capraria " ( whom some historians suggest were São Miguel and Santa Maria ).

* Polmar, Norman, Strategic Air Command, 2nd Edition, Nautical & Aviation Publishing, 1996.

* January 1 – The Nautical Almanac for the first time gives mariners the means to find their longitude while at sea, using tables of lunar distances.

This proposal, the germ of the Nautical Almanac, was approved by the government, and under the care of Maskelyne the Nautical Almanac for 1767 was published in 1766.

In 1849 the Nautical Almanac Office ( NAO ) was established in Cambridge, Massachusetts as a separate organisation.

In collaboration with many national and international scientific establishments, it determines the timing and astronomical data required for accurate navigation, astrometry, and fundamental astronomy and calculation methods — and distributes this information ( such as astronomical catalogs ) in the Astronomical Almanac, the Nautical Almanac, and on-line.

It not only housed the scientific instruments to be used by Flamsteed in his work on stellar tables, but over time also incorporated a number of additional responsibilities such as the keeping of time and later Her Majesty's Nautical Almanac Office.

In 1816 he was secretary of a commission charged with ascertaining the precise length of the second's or seconds pendulum ( the length of a pendulum whose period is exactly 2 seconds ), and in 1818 he became secretary to the Board of Longitude and superintendent of the HM Nautical Almanac Office.
