You know you’re in for a good doomed polar voyage when it opens with a map that looks like a fucking etch a sketch

Sure I don’t know SHIT about hydrography or oceanography or maritime research or any of that stuff.
Tumblr media
But I love seeing such advanced equipment and ships being used for this kind of stuff!
Pure research for its own good!
Amazing.

For instance, no one now disputes that when Europe's great age of maritime discovery was just beginning, Chinese navigation was far more advanced and Chinese sailors already knew the coasts of India, Arabia, East Africa, and perhaps Australia.*
*Some people think Chinese sailors even reached the Americas in the fifteenth century, but as I will try to show in Chapter 8, these claims are probably fanciful. The closest thing to evidence for these imaginary voyages is a map of the world exhibited in Beijing and London in 2006, purporting to be a 1763 copy of a Chinese original drawn in 1418. The map is not only wildly different from all genuine fifteenth-century Chinese maps but is also strikingly like eighteenth-century French world maps, down to details like showing California as an island. Most likely an eighteenth-century Chinese cartographer combined fifteenth-century maps with newly available French maps. The mapmaker probably had no intention of deceiving anyone, but twenty-first-century collectors, eager for sensational discoveries, have happily deceived themselves.

Map Project Digitally Unlocks The Past - Technology Org

Map Project Digitally Unlocks The Past - Technology Org
History buffs interested in tracing the journeys of some of the Asia-Pacific’s greatest explorers will now be able to do so at the click of a button, thanks to a new digital map created by James Cook University researchers.
The time-layered online mapping tool is an open-access archive comprised Russian, French, Dutch, Spanish and British voyages. Image credit: JCU
Using an Australian-developed time-layered online mapping tool that combines spreadsheet data and Google Earth, JCU History Lecturer Dr Claire Brennan and College of Arts, Society and Education Dean Professor Koen Stapelbroek have tracked all documented scientific voyages between the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn between 1768 and 1834.
Dr Brennan said the exhaustive open access archive comprised Russian, French, Dutch, Spanish and British voyages, including the notable grounding of HMB Endeavour on the Great Barrier Reef on June 10, 1770, commanded by the then Lieutenant James Cook.
Only months earlier, the crew of the Endeavour had sighted the east coast of Australia and made their first landing at Botany Bay.
“The maps themselves can be used in various ways, sorted by place, time and nationality, and will link back to the journals produced by the voyages,” Dr Brennan said.
“The project produces a digital tool that creates a new way of interacting with these voyages, and with the records they produced.”
Dr Brennan said the map’s ability to collate the documented observations of various Pacific islands from early explorers had the potential to challenge previously held historical assumptions.
“Anthropologists are always interested in these voyages because this is first contact and while the Europeans at the time had some strange interpretations of what they’re seeing, often you can look through and undo the distortions knowing what we know now about the people who lived in these places,” she said.
Prof Stapelbroek said the broader project first came about following discussions with JCU coral taxonomists Dr Tom Bridge and Professor Andrew Baird, and JCU maritime archaeologist Dr Madeline McAllister.
The Coral Discovery Project uses historical sources and expertise to cast light on the origins of coral specimens within the world’s museums.
“In a museum you basically have dead coral, but the taxonomists don’t know where it was from,” Prof Stapelbroek said.
“However, they do know when it was picked up in the late 18th to early 19th century and the year it was first described, so they are looking for a journey prior to just before that year. Once we’ve located a record of that journey, coral taxonomists can then travel to that area, collect new coral samples, and then compare them to the existing old samples for any similarities.”
Prof Stapelbroek lauded the map, which has brought together JCU historians, coral taxonomists, data scientists, anthropologists and archaeologists.
“The best part of this project is you no longer just have scientists and historians staying in their respective lanes,” he said.
“We can get something that really fits with where we are and the mission of James Cook University. When you get all these people from different disciplines working together, you get to do something that’s producing new knowledge.”
