31.8 degrees north of east (not sure what format the question wants)

To get this answer you draw a triangle with the line between the ship and the harbor, a line going horizontally, from the ship and ending below the harbor, and a line going vertically down from the harbor to the end of the horizontal line. The horizontal line has a length of 50 and the vertical line has a length of 31. Using inverse tangent, you can find the angle between the ship and the harbor, which is

arctan(opposite/adjacent) opposite being the vertical line, and adjacent being the horizontal line

arctan(31/50) (or tan^-1(31/50))
which gets you 31.8 degrees

After studying the diagram that you posted above with the question and my own knowledge this is an easily answerable question. 

Since I can't circle the answer in the book, I will tell you what to circle for the type of eclipse that may occur when the moon is located in position A. 

You will need to circle the "solar eclipse." The reason why this type of eclipse may occur when the moon is at this particular position is because the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth during a solar eclipse. Another reason why is because the moon is aligned between the Sun and the earth.
