The book Marlow references, An Inquiry into some Points of Seamanship, appears to be a combination of several different books: a manual on seamanship written by Alfred Henry Alston, two books by J.T. Towson filled with navigation tables, and An Inquiry Relative to Various Important Points of Seamanship, written by Nicholas Tinmouth.
