Large 1693 Maritime Map of Irish Sea, West Coasts of Ireland, England, Scotland
Located in Langweer, NL
This is a historical sea chart titled "Carte Generale des Costes d'Irlande, et des Costes Occidentales d'Angleterre avec une Partie de celles d'Ecosse," which translates to "General Map of the Coasts of Ireland and the Western Coasts of England with a Part of Scotland."
The map was first published in 1693 in the atlas "La Neptune Francois," created by Jaillot and published by Pieter Mortier in Amsterdam. This initiative was started by the French minister Colbert to improve maritime navigation.
Details of the Map:
1. **Geographical Coverage:**
- The map primarily focuses on the Irish coast.
- It also includes the west coast of England and Wales.
- Parts of the west coast of Scotland are also depicted.
2. **Inset Map:**
- There is a detailed inset map showing the area around Chester and the course of the River Dee.
3. **Features:**
- **Depth Soundings:** The Irish Sea is detailed with depth soundings to assist in navigation.
- **Coastal Towns and Islands:** Numerous coastal towns, islands, and geographical features are indicated.
- **Rhumb Lines:** The map includes extensive rhumb lines, which are lines used by navigators to plot a straight-line course.
- **Key:** There is a key describing the quality of the terrain along the coast, important for navigators to understand the nature of the coastal landscape.
4. **Labels and Annotations:**
- **Coastal Settlements:** Ports, forts, and villages along the coast are labeled.
- **Geographical Features:** Islands and other significant features are marked.
5. **Artistic and Practical Elements:**
- The map is printed on thick paper and is hand-colored, reflecting contemporary coloring techniques.
- Detailed lines and soundings are included to help ships navigate around the numerous small islands and narrow inlets safely.
6. **Historical Context:**
- The map was part of a significant French maritime project aimed at improving navigation and charting European waters more accurately.
- It reflects the high level of cartographic skill and knowledge of the late 17th century.
This map would have been a valuable tool for mariners of the time, providing them with crucial information about the coastal features, depth soundings, and safe passage routes around the complex coastlines of Ireland, England, and Scotland.
