CaptainJackRussell Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Hi, all, I'm looking for a source for navigational charts/ maps of the 18th century, best faksimile or replica ones. Any idea where to find such? Mainly of the carribean or crimson coast, but also others will be welcome. Online or not, how did they look? Any answer and hint would be a great help. Thanks, Jack
kass Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Captain Jack, I cannot offer you instant gratification, but my company (Reconstructing History) will begin producing Golden Age of Piracy maps and charts this winter. I'm currently in the UK obtaining copies of the originals. So if you can stand to wait a month or so, we'll have what you need. Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Oh, you have got to be kidding me. I have been going crazy trying to find these, and finally picked up a 1665 atlas at an 89% discount off the insane cover price... ...and now Kass says she is coming out with charts. I am awaiting an inventory and price list... "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny... 'Cuz he's only got one shoe! Ahhrrr!"
