Triangulation

Triangulation of Kodiak Island in 1929.
Triangulation may be used to calculate the coordinates and distance from the shore to the ship. The observer at A  measures the angle α between the shore and the ship, and the observer at B does likewise for β . With the distance between A and B or the coordinates of A and B known, then the law of sines can be applied to find the coordinates of the ship and the distance d.
Liu Hui (c. 263), How to measure the height of a sea island.  Illustration from an edition of 1726
Gemma Frisius's 1533 proposal to use triangulation for mapmaking

In trigonometry and geometry, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly (trilateration). The point can then be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known side and two known angles.
