http://www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/bios/b4bowditchn.htm

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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
