In rough order of priority/completion:

Peter Puget’s strange arithmetic

Peter Puget performed many of the laborious calculations required
to determine longitude by the lunar-distance method.
One page of his notebook however, carries some absurd arithmetic.
Had Peter had one too many that day?

No, apparently not. On looking again, I see I had misread his handwriting.
His math is good. This project is cancelled.
