Humans have been at sea for nearly as long as they've been walking on two legs. Archaeologists have found evidence of boats in Crete dating back 130,000 years. Ships are known to have existed since the Neolithic Age. Pilotage goes back at least to ancient Greek and Roman times. So it is not surprising that technology has been applied to seafaring since people first went to sea. The need for tools and aids to make navigation safer and more accurate has been inspiring inventors for millennia.
