At the beginning of the new week, Lao Mo knelt down for recommendation tickets and asked his brothers and sisters to support Lao Mo!
In fact, what attracts Yang Jing is not the piles of second-hand books like Xiaoshan on the booth, but the old-looking maps hanging on the support of the booth shed.
Yang Jing gathered up and looked carefully at these ancient looking maps.
The boss of the stall was busy talking with another customer. When he saw Yang Jing coming, he just said hello and continued to talk with the customer. Yang Jing was so happy that no one disturbed him.
There are seven maps, all of which are well protected by plastic.
This is also a common way for flea market stall owners to protect some vulnerable things. The maps are all a piece of paper. If you don't pay attention to them, they will be damaged. Therefore, it's not surprising that the stall owner uses this way to protect these old looking maps.
One of the seven "youngest" maps is also over 100 years old. It is a map during World War I, and it is obviously a military map from a headquarters of the allies.
Yang Jing took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, which he bought in the shop next to the hotel after he had a full meal last night.
Put the magnifying glass in the lower right corner of the map, and sure enough, I saw the origin of the map.
This is a large-scale map of the kingdom of Bulgaria, one of the Allies during World War I. it clearly indicates some military deployments near provdiv, an important town in central Bulgaria at that time, with pens of different colors.
Obviously, this map is a military map of the war between the kingdom of Bulgaria, one of the allies, and the Allied forces near provdiv.
If such a map is placed in China, it may be a great cultural relic. But in Europe and America, such maps can not be said to be rotten streets, at least there are absolutely many. In particular, the value of this local military operation map involving only one place is not high.
Yang Jing shook her head slightly and sentenced the map to death. Anyway, he doesn't mean to collect this map. He's not a war enthusiast. He really doesn't love this bloody map.
The fourth map aroused Yang Jing's interest.
Strictly speaking, this map is not a map, but should be a nautical chart, but the nautical picture is very rough. Yang Jing can barely recognize that this nautical chart should be a chart of the North Atlantic and some coastal waters off the east coast of the United States and Canada.
The nautical chart was not made of paper, but seemed to be made of legendary sheepskin. However, because it was wrapped in plastic, Yang Jing could not confirm the making material of the nautical chart.
The east coast of the United States and Canada can be barely distinguished from this blurred nautical chart. Of course, Greenland, Iceland in the North Atlantic and Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada can still be seen.
Moreover, this nautical chart does not seem to be a complete nautical chart, but more like a part torn from a larger nautical chart. Because at the bottom of the nautical chart, which is close to Bermuda, the map shows a torn ripple, while at the top, almost half of Greenland is also torn.
Obviously, this nautical chart should originally belong to a relatively large and complete nautical chart, but I don't know why, this part was torn off.
What attracts Yang Jing most is not the raw materials of this chart, nor the history of this chart, but the clear locations and a broken route marked on this chart.
On this map, there are few places indicated. Except Greenland and Newfoundland, there are only Boston and New York. Even Iceland is not specially marked on this map, but only the shape of an island.
Needless to say, Boston and New York are the oldest cities in the United States. This map should be a hand-painted nautical chart in the early 18th century. It is not surprising that there are these two famous cities on it.
In the 18th century, New York and Boston were undoubtedly important port cities on the east coast of North America. Most commercial ships between Europe and North America arrived in these two cities. Therefore, there are several routes from Europe to North America on this hand-painted nautical chart.
In addition, some routes start from New York and Boston and extend south. Obviously, they are routes to the Caribbean.
Others extend northward from these two cities. These routes go north along the east coast of North America, pass Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, then turn east, cross the North Atlantic and reach Europe. This is the North Atlantic route.
In fact, there were several North Atlantic routes in the 18th century. Although the North Atlantic is stormy, it is the closest from Europe to North America. Therefore, many routes from Europe to North America in the 18th and 9th centuries took the North Atlantic.
For example, the most famous Titanic took the North Atlantic route when it made its first voyage. As a result, the big ship was so unfortunate that it encountered an iceberg on the way, and then sank directly in the deep sea of more than 4000 meters in the North Atlantic.
These routes look OK, except the one that starts from Boston and goes north. After arriving in Newfoundland, it doesn't turn east, but continues to go north along the east coast of North America and goes north through the Labrador Sea and Davis Strait.
The route broke off after reaching Davis Strait.
Although we can't know the specific destination of this route, it's really strange.
You know, even in the modern era with extremely developed navigation industry, few commercial ships took this Arctic route except some fixed routes and scientific research ships, let alone the era of wind sailing in the 18th century.
In those days, it would be better to go to Davis Strait in summer, but it would be death if you went there in spring and autumn or winter.
But why is there such a strange route on this chart?
What puzzled Yang Jing most was that by the 18th century, the navies of European powers had basically begun to draw charts on special paper. That kind of hand-painted sheepskin nautical chart had almost disappeared for the navies of European powers.
At that time, the only one who still insisted on drawing nautical charts with sheepskin, except for a very few private merchant ships, there were only those pirates across the world
