Question

How do captains of the ships locate their specific destination

Answer 1

Answer:

An angle-measuring instrument called a sextant, to measure the angle of the stars above the horizon. A chronometer for telling time. Accurate charts so the navigator can find the position of the ship in latitude and longitude or in reference to the land or a hazard such as rocks and shallow water called shoals.
