Why were the sailors mad at Ben?
From the text:
Sailors depended on the almanac’s Tide Table which helped them know when to dock their ships. Due to the ‘errors’ Amos moved the type before Ben printed it. The almanac was printed with an incorrect Tide Table! Sailors were furious until Ben convinced them it was a ‘hoax!’
