j8ksdad Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I would like to get one. I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die. Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoD Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ok just done the first prototype Sea chart and its worked really well. I may need to tweak the size and get the correct shade of paper but other than that it worked out fine. This is a replica of a 1657 Dutch seachart showing Southern Florida, the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola. It is printed on period correct Linen and cotton rag laid paper. Size: 20" x 23" ...and then I discovered the wine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoD Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Love it! Have you got a price worked out yet?

Asolfr Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I've been trying to find out what GAOP sea charts were printed on for ages. Anyone got any ideas? many charts like books of the time were printed on a fiberous paper (very canvas like) made from the Hemp plant, extreamly durable it was very water resistant as well. the ropes, textile items and many clothes were also made from the Hemp, but each was refined differently producing different qualities charts could also have been placed on Velum but that was very expensive...still is Asolfr Captain of the Blacktyde Purveyor of Asolfr's Workshoppe "If I don't have it, i'll find it If I can't find it, i'll make it If I can't make it, I'll steal it" So says Asolfr the Pirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Sterling Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Oi when might we see charts circa 1705-1715? Would be interested in England, Virginia, Carolinas, Bermuda, Jamaica, Bahamas, North Africa..
