Traditional navigation across the Pacific and beyond

David Lewis’s revised edition examines traditional ways of finding land at sea, placing Pacific navigation within a wider regional context. The book adds discussion of theories about these methods developed in recent decades, alongside an account of the revival of star navigation across the Pacific. Its scope also reaches navigation systems in Indonesia, Siberia, and the Indian Ocean, making the subject a study of both Pacific practices and related traditions elsewhere.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in traditional navigation and wayfinding
  • Readers exploring Pacific maritime history and star navigation
  • Readers seeking a comparative view of navigation systems across several regions
