The intricately detailed, color chart is a snapshot of the maritime world during a pivotal period in shipping history. The chart displays essential information for navigating the North Atlantic, including wind patterns, sea currents, temperature readings, limits of field ice and icebergs, wireless telegraphy stations, submarine signal stations, magnetic variation, and various routes for sailing vessels, steamships, and low-powered steamships.
