What are methods of getting Ship Position if GPS fails at mid sea?

1. By Astronomical object.
2. A Bearing and Sounding
3. Running Fix.

By Astronomical object

 Six common methods are used :

1. Latitude by Polaris (Pole Star)
2. Latitude by meridian altitude
3. Latitude by ex-meridian
4. Longitude by meridian passage of the sun
5. Longitude by chronometer
6. Intercept

Latitude by Polaris (Pole Star)

As the Pole Star is always around the North Pole at radius of 1°, so it is always on or near the meridian passage. The latitude of the observer can be determined. The position line runs in an east-west, or nearly east-west, direction.
