		But none of these techniques of celestial navigation relied upon science.

	North Pole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The theory under which Canada has claimed sovereignty to the North Pole is controversial as there are in fact 770 km of ocean between the pole and Canada's northernmost point, and several nations, most notably the United States, have challenged the notion that the North Pole does not lie in international waters.
		Astronomers define the north "geographic" pole of a planet or other object in the solar system by the planetary pole that is in the same ecliptic hemisphere as the Earth's north pole.
		Magnetic North is the place to which all magnetic compasses point, although since the pole marked "N" on a bar magnet points north, and only opposite magnetic poles are attracted to each other, the Earth's magnetic north is actually a south magnetic pole.

	tide. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		More generally, tides are the deformations of celestial bodies from a perfectly spherical shape that result from stresses created by their mutual gravitational attraction (see gravitation).
		Detailed prediction of ocean tides from theories of classical mechanics and hydrodynamics has not been entirely successful, largely because of complications introduced by the irregular shape of the ocean basins and coastlines.
		The typical tidal range in the open ocean is 2 ft (0.61 m) but is much greater near the coast.
