Historical Naval Charts and Maps

The National Maritime Museum (one of the Royal Museums of Greenwich) has a really cool collection of historical sea charts and maps. It would be really cool to do some research involving them!

I found this out via the follow tweet.

This portulan chart is decorated with compass roses, towns, rulers, tents, mountains, animals and ships. #MapMondayhttps://t.co/l4BDRiuQU3 pic.twitter.com/l6lAMceEhA
