Mission Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I did not size this for printing or anything, but I am about to shrink it down so that many parts of it will be unreadable and I put a heckuva lot of work into cleaning it up. So I thought I'd put it here for those who want to see the map included in Lionel Wafer's 1699 edition of his buccaneering book A Voyage Across the Isthmus of America. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Mission Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 It is a neat one. Here is another one - one which I have actually been looking for for a couple of years. When I was reading The voyages and travels of Captain Nathaniel Uring, he referred to his map of the Bay of Honduras (where many episodes of piracy took place). Unfortunately, I was reading a reprint and they hadn't bothered to include the map. An online image search failed to turn it up as well - although there were several references to it in various web documents. I recently found it while reading George Francis Dow and John Henry Edmonds' book The Pirates of the New England Coast 1630-1730, so I scanned it in and cleaned it up. It actually looks like Dow and Edmonds only printed part of the map, although having never seen the original, I can't say for sure. It's not as neat as the one Wafer included in his book, but having searched so long for it, I wanted to put it out there. (Again, it's not particularly sized for printing or anything like that.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Mission Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Here's another cool one for you, William. St Christopher from Nouveau Voyage aux Isles de l'Amerique, Volume 5, by Jean Baptiste Labat, 1722, p. 58 (I've actually been there - twice, in fact. :) ) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
