I have been looking into reproducing authentic navigation sea charts. I have downloaded hundreds of maps off the web but I cannot find any that are complete maps, or they are too small to read the print, or there is some other issue with them. With all the pirate related books I have you would think I could find something of use there, but I cannot. The only place I haven't checked is the local Historical Society Library because they are only opened a few days a week, when I am at work.
I have two questions;
1. Has anyone here ever reproduced a sea chart before?
2. Does anyone have any suggestions to where can I find good quality, large format sea charts (circa 1700) that I can reproduce?
