How about posting some PROOF.

Just asked you to back up your bs, no need to be a hat trick about it

 

[Al D]

WOW, you found a rock

Be careful what I pull out my hat Son.

So you have the coordinates, and that means you now have the treasure, god job, did you file a claim?

How did the Jesuits determine their longitudinal positions in the 1700s?

 

[Clay Diggins]

In the 1700s, the Jesuits determined their longitudinal positions, or longitudes, primarily through astronomical observation and measurement techniques. Here are some of the methods they employed:

1. Solar Observations: The Jesuits used instruments like quadrants, astronomical globes, and telescopes to observe the position of the Sun at noon. By comparing the local solar noon with a standard reference (usually the Greenwich Mean Time at a specific date), they could calculate the difference in longitudes.
2. Lunar Observations: The position of the Moon relative to specific stars was observed and recorded. This information was then compared with known lunar ephemerides (tables predicting the Moon's position over time) to calculate longitudes.
3. Celestial Navigation: Jesuit astronomers also made use of celestial navigation methods, particularly by measuring the positions of stars and planets at specific times. These observations were compared with astronomical tables like almanacs, which provided predicted positions of celestial objects, to calculate the longitudes.
4. Transit of Venus: During the transit of Venus, when the planet passes in front of the Sun as viewed from Earth, the Jesuits calculated the time of the phenomenon from different locations. By comparing the timings and triangulation, they could determine the longitudes.
5. Chronometers: In the latter part of the 18th century, the Jesuits began using accurate chronometers, which are precise timekeeping devices, to measure the time difference between their location and a reference point. This time difference was then converted to longitudinal distance.
6. Land Surveying: In some cases, the Jesuits used land surveying techniques to estimate distances between two points and then determined the longitudes based on these distances.

It is essential to note that these methods were not exclusive to the Jesuits and were also used by other astronomers, navigators, and scientists of the time.

It is wilderness.

The sextant, an instrument for measuring angles, was developed from a suggestion by Captain John Campbell of the Royal Navy in 1757. Those promoting the use of lunar distances, or "lunars," for finding longitude at the end of the 18th century stimulated the invention of the sextant.

Captain John Campbell was a prominent figure in the Royal Navy during the 18th century. He was born on October 1708 in Scotland and had an illustrious career in the navy, serving with distinction in various naval campaigns.

In his early years, Campbell gained experience as a merchant captain before joining the Royal Navy. In 1735, he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the navy and over the years, gradually climbed the ranks. He displayed exceptional leadership skills, and in 1745, he was made captain of the HMS Stirling Castle, a fifth-rate ship of the line.

One of his most notable achievements came during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), a conflict fought between major European powers. Campbell served as captain during the Seven Years' War and had considerable success in naval battles. He participated in numerous engagements against the French Navy and was known for his tactical acumen and bravery.

In 1757, Campbell commanded a squadron of ships attacking a French convoy off the coast of Portugal. His decisive victory in this battle earned him great accolades and recognition. He continued to excel in subsequent encounters, becoming renowned for his skills as a commander.

Captain John Campbell was known for his strict discipline and the cleanliness of his ships. He insisted on proper hygiene practices to prevent disease outbreaks, which was uncommon during that period. This approach resulted in healthier crews and increased efficiency within his command.

After a long and distinguished career, Campbell retired from active naval service in 1761. He dedicated his later years to writing and published a book called "Naval Tactics," which provided insights into his strategic thinking and leadership approach. The book became widely read and respected among naval officers.

Captain John Campbell passed away on March 28, 1775, leaving a legacy as one of the most esteemed naval commanders of his time. His contributions to naval warfare, both in terms of strategic thinking and leadership, continue to be influential to this day.

More insults, I am sorry that you know so little about celestial navigation, or the history of navigation, for that matter, that you have to resort it insults toward people who disagree with your made up stories

 

[Al D]

You really should take that nap
make it a long one

 

[Clay Diggins]

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any information about the "Sims Ely School of Treasure Hunting." It's possible that this school does not exist or is not widely known. Can you please provide more context or clarify your statement?

Jesuit celestial navigation refers to the astronomical and navigational techniques developed and practiced by Jesuit priests during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Jesuits, a Catholic religious order, emphasized the importance of exploration and spreading their knowledge across the globe during the Age of Discovery.

Jesuit celestial navigation involved the use of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, stars, and planets to determine the position and direction of a ship or an explorer in the vast expanse of the ocean. By observing the angles and positions of these celestial bodies, Jesuits were able to calculate latitude and longitude, helping navigators to accurately plot their course and determine their location.

The Jesuits made significant contributions to the field of celestial navigation, developing more accurate instruments and methods for observations, and creating detailed charts and navigational guides. They also trained explorers in the celestial navigation techniques they developed.

The knowledge and expertise of Jesuit navigators played a crucial role in facilitating European exploration and colonization during that period. Their skills were employed in various maritime expeditions, including those of Christopher Columbus and other early explorers, helping to expand geographical knowledge and enable safer and more efficient sea voyages.
