ll his life, eems continued to improve the instruments
and broaden the applications of his methods until they
came to include radio astronomy, polar exploration and
even space navigation. e published numerous articles
and taught navigation at the aval cademy in the ’s.
e went on to establish his own school in nnapolis to
teach he eems ystem of avigation. harles indbergh
studied with eems before attempting his trans-tlantic
flight. dmiral yrd, a classmate of eems at the aval
cademy, came to eems for instruction before setting
out for the orth ole, as did many others.
 century earlier, arl lath’s
company in amburg,
ermany - . lath, had
been manufacturing the
finest commercial sextants
and magnetic compasses
available. . lath developed
the first gy rocompass
installed on a commercial
vessel in . eems' school
for navigation had become
the purveyor of eems’
instruments. t was a natural
development for eems’
company to become the
orth merican source for . lath’s fine instruments;
hence the alliance of two distinguished names - eems
and lath. he exceptional workmanship that both hilip
an orn eems and arl lath required in developing
the manufacturing of precision navigation tools remains
at the heart of all our products today.
oday, eems  lath is still located in the hesapeake
ay town of nnapolis where it began so many years ago.
e are committed to supplying the world with the finest
nautical products available while maintaining the high
standards of service that have distinguished eems 
lath from its inception.
