    Wow - I never knew how interesting this subject was. I do have the Dava Sobel book on my shelves. I really must read it. Blessed by a passing angel for being such an excellent educational lens.

    Thanks for doing a great lens on this - a rather unknown but important story in history. :-D

    I love this! And not just because I'm a descendant of John Harrison either. It's beautifully made, wonderfully presented and a pleasure to read. Blessed by a Squid Angel today. (squidoo.com/september-blessings )

    Very complete and well written. A great reference and I am far more knowledgeable about longitude than I thought I would ever be! Excellent work.

    I guess I'll be looking the books up now, and I pretty much hate history. Interesting stuff!!!

    I was into astronomy as a child, and saw the clocks on a trip to the Royal Observatory years ago. They really are fascinating to watch. When the miniseries was reshown it reminded me, and I thought I'd put the lens up.
