Florida Sailor All is well with the world

smiley - sorry Tav

I meant to reply sooner, but it rolled into the backlog

Unfortunately I no longer have a copy of the book, other than digital format.

The digital book does contain two chart segments that might be appropriate, you know better than I about 100 year old books and copyright. The scale might also be a problem.

Let me know if I can help.

They are nautical charts that show the islands and channels through the sands.

One shows the entire coast from the river Ems to the river Jade. The names Walker and Cockerwell are printed in the lower right hand corner - the page is about 700kb

The other is a close up of the islands of Just and Norderney, and the adjacent sands. It is labeled as a German Admiralty Chart - it is about 10,300kb

Let me know if you want me to send them to you.

FWR had a photo of a shipwreck, which seems to fit well. But if one of the charts would be helpful for your Entry please send it to us. Maybe the 2nd one?
