The Eva G. R. Taylor Lecture: The English Pilot: English Sailing Directions and Charts and the Rise of English Shipping, 16th to 18th Centuries

Abstract

In the mid-16th century the English began to expand their merchant and fighting navies to sail beyond the waters of north-west Europe. This necessitated mathematical navigation, charts, and written and illustrated sailing directions; all, from the 1580s, were embodied in the printed ‘waggoners’ of the Dutch and were used in translation by the English seamen.
