From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Wight (?-1608) was a bookseller and a draper in London. Together with his father, the draper John Wight, he published seven editions of William Bourne's book, A Regiment for the Sea. Bourne's book was the first purely English navigational text. Edmund Weaver, a famous London book publisher and bookseller, started as Wight's apprentice.
