They used the stars to navigate by using the north star
If you know the constellations and stars in the sky, you can use them to help you navigate. Sailors do this by knowing which directions stars are positioned. They can then tell which way is north, south, east and west.
because it's directly above the north pole so doesn't appear to move unlike all other stars and be used as a reference point to find other constellations

Well, on MY planet, there is only one moon. Not sure about your planet. Here the sailors generally do not navigate by the moon- but they do use stars. In the north, sailors use the Pole Star, also called the North Star or Polaris. In the far south, you can't see Polaris, so sailors use other groups of stars, like the Southern Cross.
Karana uses the stars to help her navigate because they provide a reliable and fixed point of reference in the night sky. By observing the positions of certain stars, she can determine her direction and make sure she is heading towards her destination. This knowledge helps her stay on course and avoid getting lost at sea.
sometimes by the stars other then that i don't know Ship captains now use the Global Positioning System (GPS).
