Carry On, Mr. Bowditch is a fictionalized biography of Nathaniel Bowditch, who lived from 1773 to 1838. Â Bowditch grew up in the shipping town of Salem, Massachusetts. Â A smart boy with an extraordinary understanding of mathematics, he dreamed of going to Harvard. Â Circumstances were not in his favor, however, and at the age of 12 he was indentured.
One of the reasons I love this book so much is because Nathaniel turns every situation into a learning opportunity. Â He writes everything he learns into notebooks. Â This inspired the addition of bookbinding into the kit.
He learns all he can about surveying, navigation, astronomy, algebra, Latin and French. Â After his time is complete at the shipping yard he decides to go to sea, working as a clerk and second mate. Â Eventually, he sets to work on an accurate book on navigation and sailing. Â His determination and hard work make this a book worthy of reading for both you and your children. Â Boys and girls alike will equally enjoy this story.
