Miracle of Navigation To collect material for an actuality picture of wartime life aboard a typical vessel of the British Mercantile Marine-a programme that BBC listeners heard last montha BBC producer and an engineer, accompanied by a recording car, recently went to sea aboard a 7000-ton ship. "We had a fairly bad first night at sea in a perfect black-out,’ the producer said, on his return home. "When the captain opened his sealed orders to get his course, he found he had to make for a small buoy some two hundred miles ahead without a single shore light to help him. The buoy in question marked a channel less than halt a mile wide between two extensive minefields. I have tried to stress in the programme the miracle of navigation under these conditions."
