EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "Plans in the Black Sea, 1904" offers a glimpse into the intricate world of cartography during the early 20th century. Created by the British Admiralty and Malby & Sons, with contributions from Sir C.A. Hartley CE and Vice-Admiral Thomas A.B. Spratt, this piece showcases two detailed plans of key locations in the Black Sea.
The first plan depicts the Kustenjeh (Constanta) anchorage, meticulously surveyed under the direction of Sir C.A. Hartley CE in 1881. The scale of 1:12,000 allows for a comprehensive view of this strategic area. The second plan focuses on Bender Erekli (Eregli), surveyed by Commander T Spratt in 1854 at a scale of 1:16,000.
These maps not only serve as valuable navigational tools but also stand as historical artifacts that shed light on maritime exploration and trade routes during this period. The black-and-white aesthetic adds to the vintage charm of these plans, highlighting their importance in understanding past seafaring endeavors.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this print is a testament to human ingenuity and dedication to mapping out uncharted territories. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with exploring new horizons and charting unknown waters.
