Atlantic Crossing

We visited my son in the Azores a few weeks ago.

The Azores are pretty much the centre point for any sailors crossing the Atlantic, so lots of sailors stop there to rest, repair and rewstock. Along the edge f the harbour on St. Miguel are a lot of paintings done by people who stopped there and several, inevitably featured some kind of map. Maps painted on stone on an island in the middle of the Atlantic seem like pretty fine Maps in the Wild to me.
