Crossing the Line date rule in navigation
The article notes the date advances one day when crossing the Line westward and retreats one day when crossing eastward, so noon on Monday becomes Tuesday noon after westward crossing and vice versa for eastward travel. This is the standard Julian Date Line convention used in navigation.
