No navigator if you can't do 'Lunar Distances'. Cheaper even than Farmer John's kind purchase (and I don't have to bother with time signals) - it is why Nevil Maskelyne got to save the sailor first. Harrison's solution started out as too expensive.
And what was too expensive then must be too expensive now!
