Which outcome arises from discrepancies between a ship's dead reckoning position and celestial navigation by sextant?

💡 Explanation

A ship relies on dead reckoning and estimates position. The accumulated errors is the INTEGRATION of velocity estimation errors. When star/sextant measurements produce errors, these reveal the accumulated dead-reckoning Positioning error, because otherwise, the navigator cannot relate position to stars as references, therefore losing accuracy; rather than physical damage.
