This is a quite striking story about some of the life of the famous mathematician, Nathaniel Bowditch. He was so good that he even worked out a new way to work lunars. He sailed on lots of voyages on 3 different ships: The Henry, The Astria and the The Putnam. I really liked this book. Daniel, aged 8
