Book Description
The Book `Chola Navigation Package` Seeks To Build On The Navigational Practices, Skills And Wisdom That Finally Culminated In The Chola Naval Expeditions To Malaya And Indonesia And Cultural-Cum-Trade Emissaries To China, Based Upon Limited Medieval Documentation Inn The North Indian Ocean Arena, And Oral Knowledge And Living Practices Of The Coromandel Coast. The Book Is The First Ever Attempt To Narrate The Chola Navigation Mode, As It Was Popularly Known Among Medieval Seamen, Especially The Arabs, Omanis And The Chinese. Though Couched In Cautious Terms Based On Limited Information, The Book Highlights The Expertise Of Tamil Seamen In Celestial Navigation And Parallel Sailing. The Book Opens A Challenge To Young Researchers For A Deeper Investigation Into The Virgin Field Of Maritime Technology.
