18 Advertisements. FLIGHT AUGUST 27TH, 1942 BOARD the yacht "Chatham" one summer day in 1720. the 60° sextant was tried and approved by the Admiralty. Who can gauge the importance of this day in British Nautical History? Since then the sextant has been held in expectant hands before such legendary battles as Cape Finisterre ... Quiberon Bay .. . Trafalgar . . . The Bay of Rosas . , . Navarino. And to-day, despite the development of newer aids to navigation, the sextant remains—svmbol of tradition—symbol of accuracy—symbol of progress—an example which those who to-day add to the furthering of our Nautical History are proud to follow.
