EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of the Chart of the North Atlantic Ocean from 1893 is a true masterpiece of cartography. Created by James Imray & Son, this intricate map showcases the currents of the North Atlantic in beautiful shades of blue. With four insets and seven inset charts, as well as eleven views, this chart provides a comprehensive view of the region.
The attention to detail in this print is truly remarkable - from the printed tracks showing usual courses to the manuscript pencil and red ink tracks with dates added in 1896. The coordinates given on this chart add an extra layer of precision to its already impressive design.
In addition to showcasing geographical features, this print also includes information on winter winds, spring winds, summer winds, and autumn winds in the North Atlantic region. The inclusion of magnetic charts and track charts further enhances its utility for sailors navigating these waters.
