    I've seen if from the top of the cliffs at La Jolla (it looks like a little slice of
    sun that appears just after the real sun dissappears). Apparently it's a pretty
    common sight there so if you had a ship with a 400' mast, you might see it
    pretty regularly (though I don't see how that would help you find longitude).
