Matthew Maury's Whale Chart, was first issued by the United States Bureau of Ordnance \u0026amp; Hydrography in 1851, lithographed by Endicott in New York. The chart was reissued by the Hydrographic Office of the US Navy. This is likely the forth issue c1960, from the Hydrographic Office of the US in the mid 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Norman B. Leventhal Map and Education Center:\u003cbr\u003e\"The importance of the mid-19th-century American whaling industry, which was dominated by ports in southern New England, especially New Bedford, Massachusetts, is documented by this innovative thematic map. It was prepared by Matthew Fontaine Maury, an American naval officer and oceanographer who served as the Superintendent of the U.S. Navy Depot of Charts and Instruments (later the U.S. Naval Observatory) from 1842 to 1861. Because of his contributions to oceanography including a series of wind and current charts for the world oceans, Maury is recognized as the father of the science of oceanography. Collecting data from various sources including logs from whaling ships, he compiled this map showing the distribution of several different species of whales, identifying each with a combination of color and pictorial symbols. For example, the occurrence of the sperm whale, which provided the basis of the New England whaling trade, was identified with a pink color and a small diagram of a whale with one spout. Seasonal variations were indicated by the letters w (winter), v (spring), s (summer), a (autumn), and all (all months). In constructing this map, Maury used a Mercator projection centered on the Pacific Ocean. While this projection was probably not the best choice for a single thematic topic, because it exaggerates the spatial extent of the southern and northern oceans, it was the commonly used projection for navigational purposes during the 19th century. By centering the map on the Pacific Ocean, however, Maury showed that the primary habitat of whales was the Pacific arena rather than the Atlantic, where the whale resources had been terribly depleted. Interestingly, the sperm whale distribution was heavily concentrated in the central Pacific. This includes the area between Hawaii and the California coast, appearing just to the right of the map's center, where New England whalers focused their efforts.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/collections.leventhalmap.org\/search\/commonwealth:x633f952x\"\u003ehttps:\/\/collections.leventhalmap.org\/search\/common...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YEAR PUBLISHED: 1960","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29812209254488,"sku":"246","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4942\/1656\/products\/MapID_246.jpg?v=1721596333"},{"product_id":"289-old-world-map","title":"Sketch F General Reconnoissance of Western Coast of Florida 1848-1851","description":"\u003cp\u003eChart of Florida showing the entire Florida peninsula, but only detailing the western coastline, mapping all bays and harbors, including the Florida Keys.

C. Wyeth completed a series of five murals for Hubbard Memorial Hall, the National Geographic Society's first formal library. The Map of Discovery: Western Hemisphere, published in January 1929, is one of those outstanding murals. It features Poseidon and a mermaid keeping watch over the oceans as well as the routes of explorers and dates of expeditions.\u003cbr\u003eWhile simulating the illuminated mariners' charts of the Sixteenth Century, which partially dramatized the deeds of dauntless explorers, the map of the Eastern Hemisphere records present-day political boundaries. It also traces the routes of the great discoverers who sailed strange seas and penetrated misty continents to add new areas to the known world.\u003cbr\u003eForth of the series of five murals by N.C. Wyeth, the originals of which adorn the walls of the National Geographic Society buildings in Washington. The fifth, a similar pictorial map of the Western Hemisphere, will appear in an early issue of the National Geographic Magazine.","brand":"YEAR PUBLISHED: 1928","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29812218429528,"sku":"621","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4942\/1656\/products\/MapID_621.jpg?v=1721594017"}],"url":"https:\/\/larsenfinemaps.com\/collections\/out-of-stock-maps.oembed?page=28","provider":"Larsen Fine Maps Gallery Antique Old World Maps, Charts, Atlases, \u0026 Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
