Logbook

A ship’s logbook is the record of a voyage. It is used to document all aspects of the voyage including times, distances and events, as well as personal reflections on the distance travelled. This is the logbook of Heritage Charts, and this is the story of our journey to rediscover some of the beautiful and stunning historical maps and charts that are hidden away in various archives, and our reflections on the people who made them, why they made them, and their importance to history today.
