⁹Exploration of the planet in the late eighteenth century also meant traversing oceans without the benefit of what today would be considered the most elementary navigational technology. Although the latitude of a vessel could be determined with fair accuracy by the simple expediency of measuring the angle of the sun above the horizon precisely at noon, determining longitude was a problem. Position plotting was so inexact that ships would frequently anchor at night if near a lee shore, and if anchoring were not possible, they would come about and sail a reciprocal heading until the first light of dawn.

Quite simply, eighteenth century voyagers frequently did not know precisely where they were. For centuries mariners had relied upon "dead reckoning" to determine their longitude–guesswork based upon compass readings and distances measured by the log. Currents and other variables were often difficult if not impossible to detect. The mystery of longitude made transoceanic voyages dangerous, and made accurate mapping of what was observed impossible. It wasn't until longitude could be accurately measured, for example, that the width of North America could be fully appreciated. A mid-seventeenth century map, prepared at a time when measuring longitude was still largely guesswork, indicated that North America was so narrow that it could be crossed on foot in ten days.

Accurately measuring longitude was finally made possible by the appreciation of the relationship between two obvious realities: (1) The earth was basically spherical, described by a 360° circle, and (2) the earth rotated at a constant speed. The earth revolves through 360° in twenty-four hours; therefore, it rotates exactly 15° of longitude in one hour (360/24=15). Consequently, if the time at the ship's location is two hours later than the time at Greenwich, the navigator would plot the ship's longitude as 30 degrees (2 hours x 15 degrees/hour = 30 degrees). Dr. Nevil Maskelyne developed one of the first methods for making this time-difference determination. It was based upon measuring the angular distance between the moon and the sun or the moon and one of the fixed stars, and the time when the observation was made on board the ship. This time was compared to the time that the same astrological phenomena would be observed in London, and the time difference was then converted to degrees. These astrological angular distances as measured in Greenwich were published in the Nautical Almanac. Although theoretically correct, the mathematician who developed the method failed to appreciate the difficulty of accurately measuring astrological angles while standing on a sea-tossed deck.

An accurate chronometer was finally developed that could withstand both the physical forces exerted by a ship moving at sea and exposure to water. The chronometer kept track of Greenwich Time so that whenever local time could be determined by astrological observation, the difference between the two, and hence the longitude, could be ascertained (one hour = 15 degrees). The chronometer came of age in 1759 when John Harrison completed his fourth timepiece. After exhaustive tests lasting until 1764, its reliability was officially acknowledged by the British Admiralty

Accurate position fixing and the ability to accurately map what was observed were critically important to the eighteenth century explorers. They were not merely adventurers off on sailing cruises, they were scientists seeking knowledge of economic, military, or scientific import, and they needed to be able to map what they found. The voyagers were dispatched to investigate and report on flora, fauna, climate, topography, natural resources, the presence or absence of other Europeans, as well as the social, political, and economic characteristics of local inhabitants. These ships set sail from London, New Spain (Mexico), or Boston with well-educated and experienced biologists, astronomers, cartographers, surveyors, and artists on board. Their missions were nearly indistinguishable from any mission of today's NASA.

¹⁴Eighteenth-century voyagers frequently did not know precisely where they were. For centuries, mariners had relied upon "dead reckoning" (essentially guesswork based upon observations and years of experience at sea) to determine their longitude–guesswork based upon compass readings and distances measured by the "log" (an instrument towed in the water used to determine a ship's speed). The speed of the ship indicated by the log, when related mathematically with elapsed time, provided the distance traveled, (at least theoretically, since the log could not account for currents). Currents and other variables were often difficult if not impossible to detect. See Derek Hayes, Historical Atlas of the Pacific Northwest Seattle: Sasquatch Books, 1999).

¹⁰³The Trust Territory the United States was to administer under this Trust Agreement was geographically extensive. It consisted of approximately three million square miles of the Pacific Ocean from latitude 1 degree to 20 degrees north and from longitude 130 to 170 degrees east. It included more than 2,100 islands in three major archipelagos: the Caroline, Mariana, and Marshall Islands. The Trust Territory included most of Micronesia. See Armstrong, "The Emergence of the Micronesians into the International Community: A study of the Creation of a New International Entity," Brooklyn Journal of International Law, 5:207 (1979).

At the end of the Second World War, the United States ceded all Pacific islands it had gained military control over (except for Guam) to the United Nations, and the United Nations then transferred administrative authority over the islands to the United States without reconveying sovereignty.

¹⁶⁵Star Bulletin, December 4, 1975. This General Assembly resolution was an attempt to enforce Article 6 of the Trusteeship Agreement entered into by the United States and the United Nations shortly after World War II, under which the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands was created. That agreement required, in part, that the United States: "promote the development of the inhabitants . . . toward self-government . . . [and] . . . the economic advancement and self-sufficiency of the inhabitants," Trusteeship Agreement for the United States Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Although Guam had been a territory of the United States since 1899, it was not exempted from the United Nations trusteeship agreement. No record of a United States response to the General Assembly resolution could be found in the U.N. archives; therefore, it is probable that Guam was intended to be included, as evidence by that failure to respond or object to the General Assembly's presumption of inclusion.

¹⁶⁹This public law had its genesis as Senate Bill 2821; the House of Representatives dealt with a companion bill, H. R. 12481. The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs reported H. R. 12481 to the floor with House Report No. 95-1112; the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources reported the Senate bill out with Senate Report 95-784, both reports recommended passage, with amendments. See Congressional Record Vol. 124 (1978). On May 8^th, H. R. 12481 was considered in the House. On May 10^th the same House bill was considered and passed in the Senate. The House finally passed the bill on June 5^th; however, it then vacated the passage and passed Senate Bill 2821 instead. On August 3, the Senate concurred with the amendments the House had added to Senate Bill 2821, then added some amendments of its own, and passed the amended amended bill. On August 4, the House of Representatives passed amended amended Senate Bill 2821 into law. It became effective on August 18, 1978.

¹⁸⁶Honolulu Advertiser, March 10, 1971, reporting a Guam legislature resolution (Resolution 6) concluding that much of the land acquisition on Guam by the United States was effected by fraud. A cursory examination of federal court documents from the 1940s and 1950s revealed pleadings from the civil case United States of America v. 2,471 acres . . . , Civil No. 5-49, District Court of Guam, Territory of Guam. In that case a condemnation Declaration of Taking was filed by the Secretary of the Navy on November 30, 1948; however, funds were not placed in an escrow account to compensate owners for the condemnation until July 1954 (filed by C. S. Thomas, then Secretary of the Navy). A total of $391,598 US was set aside as total consideration for the 2,471 acres. Separate judgments were entered for each of the several land parcels taken in this action. Significantly, each of the judgments pertaining to all the owners of all 2,471 acres recited that the land owner, "waived service of summons and any and all other process and notice in this proceeding, waived all right to a hearing on the . . . issue of just compensation . . . "According to court records, all appraisers, interpreters, and attorneys involved in those condemnation proceedings were employees or contractors of the United States government. United States of America v. 2,471 Acres, Civil No. 5-49, District Court of Guam, Territory of Guam.

A June 1, 1977, newspaper article reported that testimony was heard by the Guam legislature arguing that the conduct of the United States in its acquisition of land warranted the payment of damages. The legislature had retained Marie Morrison Rambaud and her husband to research the issue of land takings on Guam. The Rambauds had successfully recovered a $926 million settlement on behalf of Native Alaskans as damages for similar conduct by the federal government in Alaska. According to their testimony before the Guam legislature, the Rambauds concluded that only 2,600 acres were conveyed by Spain to the United States under the 1898 Treaty of Paris, but United States naval governors seized much more. Additionally, actions by agents of the U. S. government resulted in other substantial economic losses and the artificial suppression of land values to Guam residents, the Rambauds testified. For example, Captain Richard F. Leary, the first naval governor of Guam, prohibited the sale or transfer of land without United States government consent; he also prohibited residents from raising any food for export. As late as 1947, the United States Navy testified before congress arguing against opening the Guam real estate market since that would lead to "unwarranted inflation."

⁴⁵⁹For purposes of this administrative history, "Resource Management" means the management of resources (both cultural and natural) dating from the period of historical significance, in the case of WAPA that would include resources dating from World War II.

⁴⁶²It could be argued that if the period of significance is that time immediately after the beach landing of the Americans in 1944, the most historically appropriate method of ensuring the integrity of park resources would be to arrange for an annual bombardment of WAPA by the United States Navy.

⁴⁷²In 1997, this same site again suffered minimal damage from another super typhoon (Paka). See Superintendent's Annual Report FY98, War in the Pacific National Historical Park.

⁴⁷³The unique nature of the topography surrounding the overlook is one of the reasons park staff has repeatedly identified it as the best location for the construction of a visitor center and administrative offices.

⁴⁸⁴An interesting note for future similar efforts: Heavy equipment such as bulldozers could not be used to scrape coral from the grassy area. The coral would simply bury itself rather than be slid out of the area. (See Superintendent's Annual Report, FY98, War in the Pacific National Historical Park.

⁴⁸⁵The Facility Manager, Ron Wilson, a retired Navy SeaBee, set up a concrete fabrication yard at the rear of the WAPA maintenance yard (outside the historical area). He trained emergency-hire personnel to build concrete forms, mix the concrete, pour the concrete, finish it and remove it from the molds before cleaning and preparing the forms for the next pour. Five hundred bollards and 130 curbs were manufactured at this ad hoc facility using 130 cubic yards of concrete mixed in a nine cubic-foot mixer! Ron Wilson died in 2003.

Both assessments concluded that four additional FTE each were necessary for both Saipan and WAPA. The reports concluded that resources were not being protected and noncommissioned employees were being required to respond to situations that law enforcement would normally handle. Ibid.
