11. Nathaniel Bowditch Nathaniel Bowditch entered this world on March 26, 1773 in Salem, Massachusetts. JJ O’Connor EF Robertson, “Nathaniel Bowditch” July 2000, http://www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/bios/b4bowditchn.htm

Nathaniel Bowditch Astronomer, Navigator, and Mathematician by Rit Nosotro ~Genesis 1:16B-17 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard." ~Psalm 19:1-3 That night Nat started a notebook on everything about rope . . . He watched the sail makers cutting heavy canvas . . . 1795-1799 were busy years for Nat. He attended four voyages and (in 1802) actually commanded a merchant ship. During these long hours on the ocean, Nat continued to read and study books on navigation which had been published previously. It seems Mr. Bowditch could not get enough knowledge to satisfy his bottomless desire! However, before these periods of study and command, Nat had married a woman named Elizabeth Boardman, but she died seven months after their marriage in March of 1798. He would marry for a second time, a couple years later, to Mary Ingersoll and they would have eight children together. ~The Boston Athenaeum - 1838 Sources: 4.

Nathaniel Bowditch: Master of Math and Astronomy Imagine "seeing" numbers in your sleeping hours as well as your waking hours. Nathaniel Bowditch lived numbers. When he was very young he would lay in his bed and think about a "good luck spell" for his family. "Why does my family have so much bad luck", he would wonder? "Was it because my Father had lost his ship? Or was it because of the war?" Ever since Nat could remember the war had been going on. How long had it been? He counted back on his fingers to1775. Four years since the war started. He was four from six then. He'd counted up how old everyboby had been. Mary was four from thirteen, Hab was four from eleven, Lizza was four from eight, and William was four from three...well he wasn't" Even though he was born four from two years without war in his life, he had been too young to remember. He would continue to live his life with numbers. Nathaniel Bowditch was an astronomer, mathematician, and revisor of navigation. He was born on March 26, 1773 in Salem, Massachusetts. He had 6 siblings and a shipmaster as a father. His family usually experienced hunger because of his dad's low paying job. When Nathaniel was 12 he became indentured to the town ship-chandlers. His dream of continuing his schooling was halted, yet he continued to educate himself. He sold ship supplies and reviewed logs and ledgers. When he was 14 he constructed an Almanac of Algebra At age 21, he hired on as a recorder and second mate. This would be his first adventure

Nathaniel Bowditch Courtesy of the Peabody Essex Museum After becoming the head of the Essex Fire and Marine Insurance Company in Salem in 1804, Bowditch became, until his death, actuary of the Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Company. Because this position provided him time for research and writing, he declined election as professor of mathematics and philosophy at Harvard, as well as offers from West Point and the University of Virginia. His publications include The New American Practical Navigator Traite de mechanique celeste He was elected as a foreign member of the Royal Society of London, president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and fellow of the Harvard Corporation.
