This 'Modes of Navigation' series is listed in the Black book. These artefacts appear to have been shown in two cases 69 and 71 at Bethnal Green and South Kensington Museums. It is possible that his 1874 publication 'On Early Modes of Navigation' was published as part of his work on the remaining parts of the collection not published in Parts 1 and 2 of the Catalogue of items on display at Bethnal Green Museum (the only part that ended up being published).
