How did sailors find their longitude before radio navigation aids were invented?

They kept a clock aboard ship, set to the time of the home port, and they would note

the time back home at the point when they observed the sun to be highest at sea.

For every hour that home was then past noon, they were 15 degrees west of home.

For every hour that home had yet to reach noon, they were 15 degrees east of home.

You can see that the accuracy of navigation by sea depended heavily on the accuracy

of the portable clock. A single $1.79 LED plastic digital wristwatch in the hands of the

Vikings might have changed the course of history.

The whole pursuit of smaller and more reliable clocks wasn't motivated by any desire of the

common people to have precise clocks in their homes. The demand came from the maritime

merchant interests, who needed accurate clocks for long-distance navigation.

In later years, when the structure of the solar system was understood and small telescopes

were available, the positions of the moons of Jupiter became the clock, and remained the primary

timekeepers all the way up until the radio navigation systems in the mid-20th Century.
