Salty Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 if this has been discoursed on before i apologize now. however i am still trying to tie togeter points of navigation and cartography. and since I canae find a topic on it, figured to start one. I have been seeking reproduction charts that would be PC and without a care of which nation produced them. It is rather hard to search for somethign when you are not sure where to start. Obvisouly charts and maps have been around for along time and used for navigation. How good they were was another story and that is what interests me the most. How were the charts produced? was it taking a little bit of information and conjecture from there, or did they send survey ships out first and hope they come back? anyway i will keep searching out information to share as I find it, and hope that anyone with information will share it as well ye ship's potter salty Mud Slinging Pyromanic , Errrrrr Ship's Potter at ye service Vagabond's Rogue Potter Wench First Mate of the Fairge Iolaire Me weapons o choice be lots o mud, sharp pointy sticks, an string
