Extract

Navigation at sea and navigation in the air have much in common. There is, however, a marked limitation for the ship (with the exception of a submarine), as that kind of navigation is restricted to the surface of the sea. The ship has to navigate within areas defined by two dimensions only, always bearing in mind that the depth of the water has to be more than the draught of the vessel.
