Pilots, Atlases and Guides
A selection of old pilot guides ranging from the twelfth century to the twentieth. Where possible the section related to local waters is extracted.
Maps of Land
Collected maps, some of high definition on England, Essex and Suffolk. The purpose is largely to assess the changes in the coastline over the centuries. The map of Dunwich is certainly a revalation.
Sea Charts
These charts cover different periods, the focus is the Thames Estuary and East Coast rivers although an excursion to Dunwich was irresistable.
