A '''Sextant''' is an [[instrument]] used for [[navigation|navigating]] at [[sea]] by sighting on either the [[sun]] or a [[star]] and determining its [[elevation]] above the [[horizon]]. It is excellent for determining [[latitude]], but accurate [[longitude]] measurements require good timepieces as well, capable of working on [[ship]]s which pitch and roll on the waves.
