Astronomy Q (sort of)

Having already been to an almanac page and not finding this, is there a page
that can tell me, for a given date in the last century, what planets were
visible?

TIA!

Suggest asking in one of the astronomy groups; they should be able to give
you an answer in a very short time.

The book you are looking for is called an "Ephemeris." Back before the
development of GPS, when ships used the Sun and the stars to navigate,
you could find one in every ocean-going ship's chartroom.
