  • A History of the Dutch Nautical Chart

  • J. A. Schüller
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    18 January 2010, pp. 194-199

  • The history of Dutch hydrography and chart-making is naturally closely bound up with Dutch sea power and largely follows, or at least followed until recent times, the history of the Netherlands at sea. For four centuries in Holland and for three and a half in the East and West Indies, Dutch surveyors have mapped and charted the coasts, fairways, rocks and reefs. Although in early chart-making a good deal was borrowed from other sources, the contribution of Dutch mapping to safe navigation, has, historically, been extremely important. The Dutch chart of today is a direct development of the traditions set up by the early chart makers.

  • Equation (2) in the paper by J. Th. Verstelle on page 300 of the July number of the Journal should read The formula quoted on p. 301 for deriving the mean square error in the distance made good should read metres.

    Refraction at Sea

    The mean error quoted on line 8 of Captain Brett Hilder's paper (Vol. VI, p. 314) should read 1·2 miles, not 12 miles.
