This series of photos was taken on a photoshoot outing with my good friend and fellow Flickrite, Chris (see his photos here: PhotoDocGVSU).
As it turned out, the sky was overcast (imagine that in west Michigan winter:) so we had to make our lemons into lemonade.
And yes, it was cold!

Irony? The FAIL Blog's next/previous navigation is terrible. There isn't a "Next" link on Page 2, but there is a "Prev" link? And I love how close together those page numbers are...
The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation is made up of more than 40 miles of waterway linking Sheffield with the River Trent - the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal, the Don Navigation and the Stainforth and Keadby Canal, along with the New Junction Canal linking across to the Aire and Calder Canal.
The River Don, serving Rotherham and Doncaster, was made navigable between Tinsley and Goole, on the River Ouse. Work began in 1722 but it wasn't until 1751 that the navigation was completed to Tinsley, where goods to and from Sheffield had to been transhipped by road. The section between Stainforth Side Lock and Goole had always been treacherous, being tidal and fast-flowing. In the 17th century, the Dutchman Vermuyden had straightened part of the channel, which became known as the Dutch River. This improved the drainage of the area, but the navigation remained difficult. Eventually, in 1802, the Stainforth and Keadby Canal opened, providing an easier route to the wide River Trent at Keadby.
The 4 mile long Sheffield and Tinsley Canal was opened in 1814, to carry boats between the navigable River Don at Tinsley, and a new basin close to the heart of Sheffield. During the Victorian period, a number of improvements were made to the Don Navigation, with some new locks and lock cuts constructed.
The New Junction Canal opened in 1905 - one of the last canals to open - to link with the Aire and Calder Navigation, for boats travelling to Goole and Leeds.
Originally, the lock sizes had been about 61' 6" long by around 15' wide between Sheffield and Keadby. In 1983, the locks all the way from the New Junction Canal to just short of Rotherham were extended to around 230' by 20' so that large 700 tonne barges and butties could use the locks together. This was part of a push to re-vitalise the waterway and encourage more traffic. Many new staithes and loading facilities were constructed.
Today, while there is still some commercial traffic on this waterway, many of the facilities and boats can be seen lying disused.
Cadets were given the task to find various points in the woods as part of their Land Navigation training on Oct. 5 at Penn State.

Navigation House, former offices of the navigation company, established in 1792. Not so much a canal, the River Slea was cut to make it navigable, linking Sleaford to Lincoln, Horncastle and the coastal port of Boston.

13. Sextants
English, 19th century
Sextants are so called because the arc of their bottom frames occupies a sixth of a circle, allowing navigators to measure wider angles. The best sextants feature scales engraved on silver or gold, which not only provided beauty but also greater accuracy.
Health & Company's "bell"' sextant was the favorite instrument used by the British Navy. The triangle-frame sextant features a silver scale, a vernier (an attachment for precise measurement) and extra telescopes for day or night use. The small "box" sextant was an ingenious miniaturization of the standard sextant, yet it still has the usual arrangement of mirrors and filters. It was made by Troughton and Simms, London.

As early as the 11th century, sailors were using this device to determine latitude by observing the angle of the sun over the horizon at noon. The revolving indicator was adjusted till the beam of sunlight shone through a hole in the upper vane to a hole in the lower vane. The badly damaged instrument was salvaged from a burned wreck in the Mediterranean. The replica was copied from one found on a galleon which sank off the coast of Florida in 1624
Navigation in 1973. This boat had no radar, no GPS (obviously), not even Decca Navigator. It did have this compass, a functional echo-sounding depth gauge, and a trailing log to measure distance run. That was a brass spinner on the end of a long line, with the other end hooked onto a simple revolution counter calibrated to read nautical miles. See www.flickr.com/photos/jandsw/48909200646
The River Wey was made navigable in 1635, one of the earliest Navigations. The locks were originally turf-sided.
Vostok Navigation Console,
Each Vostok spacecraft was flown remotely from Mission Control on Earth - the cosmonauts did not control the flight. This console gave the spacecraft's position over the Earth - the small globe rotated as the spacecraft orbited.
