North Atlantic Pilot Charts

The charts available at this link give a month-by-month summary of almost everything you would want to know about north Atlantic weather in a format that resembles a game board....

Hmmm...these charts may have some potential. I am viewing them on my phone so I don't have a great view but I like the info it has.

I posted a new map on roll20 and sent a copy to your email. Let me know what you think.

Great map! The land details are modern, the sea monsters medieval, so it hits a nice blend of the two.

We might consider shifting the map west.  Half the year (September til April) the North Atlantic is deadly and it is largely empty all the time. We can populate it and it we need to keep a big chunk of it, but we could shave some of the eastern emptiness off and include the Hudson Bay Sea. European ships have been going in and out of the Hudson Sea since the early 1600s.

I'm not sure about this - but this page about crossing the Atlantic to the Hudson Sea with its old maps and pictures of ice bergs, made me consider it.

I had considered moving the map west originally. So I can rework the map to include more of hudson bay. It will take a few days of reworking but I enjoy doing it. I was also thinking off adding names to the edges of the map. Something as sinple as "To Europe" but was thinking of trying to give it a little more of a historical name. Same goes with the south and maybe north. So any thoughts on names?

You could call it the 'Old World' but I think it is better to have arrows heading to specific places. The Atlantic Pilot charts list 4 main destinations as the first landfalls in Europe:

1. Fastnet Rock, Ireland
   
2. Pentland Firth, Orkneys [->North Sea]
   
3. Bishop Rock, Britain [-> English/French Channel]
   
4. Rock of Gibraltar, Spain [but under British control since early 1700s]
   

You could also add one to the Bay of Biscay, France and possibly an Icelandic port.
This might be an overly modern or Anglo-centric list but it should give a start.

Ya having multiple ports to go to and various exits off the map will be nice.

Should south exits have a similar idea with various exits?
