Navigation: Myths, Technology, Math, Science, and the People Answering the Question ‘Where Am I?’

Since humans first set out exploring the seas, there has been an intense desire to answer the question of “Where am I?” Take a journey through time to explore the events that drove this desire, some of the people involved in creating the answers, and the math and science behind the many strategies for a solution.
Learn why the people at the Dahlgren Division, like mathematician Dr. Gladys West, focused on this question and their efforts to create a solution that met the challenging needs of the Navy past and present. Presented by Dr. Alan Dean, Dahlgren Heritage Museum.
