akd Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Navigating with Google Maps is just no fun. Here are some glorious period maps of the Caribbean with flavor that makes things a bit more interesting: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/1732_Herman_Moll_Map_of_the_West_Indies,_Florida,_Mexico,_and_the_Caribbean_-_Geographicus_-_WestIndies-moll-1720.jpg I love all the annotations on this 1720 map, with helpful tips for English sea captains. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/1818_Pinkerton_Map_of_the_West_Indies,_Antilles,_and_Caribbean_Sea_-_Geographicus_-_WestIndies2-pinkerton-1818.jpg A hundred years later (1818) and you have a more accurate, easier to read map. (edit: thread merged, already posted above) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/1799_Clement_Cruttwell_Map_of_West_Indies_-_Geographicus_-_WestIndies-cruttwell-1799.jpg Nice and clear map from 1790, but fewer towns labelled. https://networks.h-net.org/system/files/contributed-files/map-west-indies-and-mexican-gulph_0.jpeg This 1806 map is huge and would be easy to add additional annotations to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBoiteux Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Lots of beautiful french, english, dutch (...) nautical charts and map : http://gallica.bnf.fr (a french online library) Example : a french 1749 nautical chart of La Martinique (a french Caribbean island) : Chart under Gallica's licence (non-commercial uses are free of charge) : http://gallica.bnf.fr/html/conditions-use-gallicas-contents PS : a collection of small-scale nautical charts (one for each Caribbean island like this one) would be great . PS 2 : to look for charts on this french site, you may need some french words such as : carte nautique, Antilles, XVIII ème siècle and french names of the Islands... You can also type english words for english items... Edited May 1, 2015 by LeBoiteux 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
