Extract

During the cruise of H.M.S. Van Kinsbergen, of the Royal Netherlands Navy, with 92 midshipmen on board (of whom 66 were Executive Branch), as may be expected, a great many sights were taken. Very often the ship's position was obtained by bearings shortly before the star observations were made; in this way the DR position was known and the accuracy of the sights could be determined.
