EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the 1930s, as young men diligently learn the art of navigation at the London School of Engineering and Navigation. Dressed in their nautical uniforms, complete with watch caps and stopwatches, these students are fully immersed in their lessons, focused on the task at hand. Their subject matter: mastering the use of a sextant to determine a ship's position while at sea. The sextant, a vital tool for maritime navigation, allows the user to measure the angle between a celestial body and the horizon, enabling the calculation of latitude and longitude. The students appear intently engaged in their studies, with one young man carefully adjusting the sextant, while another checks the timing on his watch. The presence of a ship model in the foreground serves as a reminder of the practical application of their learning. Transporting us back to an era of traditional maritime education, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when the art of navigation was a critical skill for those who braved the open sea. The students' determination and focus are palpable, as they prepare for a future filled with adventure and discovery on the high seas.
