A New Atlas of the Atlantic Ocean

Abstract

TOWARDS the end of the year 1898, the Deutsche J Seewarte published the second edition of its well-known “Segelhandbuch” for the Atlantic Ocean, but it was regretted at the time by the director, Prof. Neumayer, that a new edition of the atlas was not forthcoming. There were, however, very good grounds for its non-appearance, since it was considered that there was not sufficient new material available to make it worth while undertaking such a large piece of work.
