The hulk of a ship lies on the ocean floor at 41 degrees 46 minutes North latitude and 50 degrees 14 minutes west longitude These cooridinates tell us that the ship is located where?
That point is in the north Atlantic, about 420 miles south-southeast of St. John's, 705 miles east-southeast of Halifax, and 1,090 miles east of Providence.
As a ship sails a steady course the North Star sinks in the sky In what direction must the ship be sailing?
It is moving South. At sea you could measure the angle between the horizon and Polaris with a sextant. This angle is approximately equal to your Northern latitude. There are some mathematical corrections one can perform to get a more precise answer, but the further south you sail, the lower Polaris will become. Eventually, you will not be able to see it anymore. Polaris is not visible from the Southern Hemisphere and there is no South Star. The ship is in the Northern Hemisphere, moving South.
What is the variation of a ship?
The variation of a ship refers to the angular difference between true north and magnetic north as experienced by the ship's compass. This variation is influenced by the Earth's magnetic field and is expressed in degrees east or west. It is crucial for navigation, as it helps mariners correct compass readings to ensure accurate course plotting. Variation can change depending on geographic location and should be regularly updated on nautical charts.
What ship did Roald Admundsen ride on to get to the south pole?
Roald Amundsen reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, by leading an expedition on the ship Fram. The Fram was specially designed for polar exploration and allowed Amundsen to navigate through the icy waters and reach his destination successfully.
When the time of day for a certain ship at sea is twelve noon the time of day at the prime meridian zero degrees longitude is five pm what is the ship's longitude?
Given the information you provide, you can only know which time zone the ship is in; it could be anywhere within the 15 degree width of longitude in that zone (and, presumably, in the water someplace). I am assuming that the ship is keeping accurate local time. This would mean that the ship (whose clock reads 12 noon) is in the time zone that has 75 degrees west longitude at its center. This is the time zone known in the US as Eastern Standard Time.
What is a Boxing compass?
"Boxing the compass" is the act of reciting the 32 principal points of the compass. It was a necessary skill of all mariners before the mid1930's. Up until this time, ship's officers would give the helmsman orders to "steer south-east by south" for example. On board a modern ship, the equivalent order would be "steer one-four-six degrees." So, to box the compass, start at north and work clock-wise. North, north by east, north-northeast, north-east by north, north-east, northeast by east, east-northeast, east by north, east, east by south, east-southeast, southeast by east, southeast, southeast by south, south-southeast, south by east south, south by west, south-southwest, southwest by south, southwest, southwest by west, west-southwest, west by south west, west by north, west-northwest, northwest by west, northwest, northwest by north, north-northwest, north by west, north. 151.88°157.50°163.12° NNW NbW

A true bearing measures points in a clockwise direction around the north-south line. Due north has a bearing of 0° or 360°. Due east has a bearing of 90°, due south has a bearing of 180°, and due west has a bearing of 270°?
