Answer: To provide the best possible view

Explanation:

The crow's nest was located on the upper part of the main mast in a large sailing ship. It was so named because it is thought that Vikings used to carry crows in cages attached to the top of the mast and when they couldn't see anything they would let the crow out and follow its flight path.

It is located as high on the mast as possible so that it may provide the best possible view of what is ahead so that the ship can be able to navigate better. It was replaced by radar to a large extent.

Triss [41]

Answer: On the Northern horizon

Explanation:

If the star is directly overhead when you stand at the North Pole, it will sink further and further the more you move south towards the equator due to the earth's curve. When you get to the equator, the star will ideally sit right on the northern horizon.

After one crosses the equator however, the star will disappear from view. It is therefore not possible to see this star from anywhere south of the Equator to the South Pole.
