Title A name given to the resource Carta particolare della terra nuoua con la Gran Baia et il Fiume Grande della Canida Subject The topic of the resource A specialised technical map of the Newfoundland region was produced by Robert Dudley in Florence as part of his c.150 marine chart atlas - Dell'Arcano del Mare [Secrets of the Sea] - a title acknowledging that cartographical details were regarded as trade secrets. Description An account of the resource This particular map has been termed 'one of the most important maps of the region ever produced.' Its status is more remarkable given the decades-long dominance of the Dutch sea atlases, the quality of its production (over 12 years in preparation as claimed in the atlas preface), and that it pioneered the inclusion of non-European dedicated sea charts. The entire atlas heralded an advance on previous work as it contained more coverage of the world, adhered to Mercator's ground breaking projection with an intersecting graticule indicating latitude and longitude - thereby indicating the shortest distance between two points on the world. Its technical utility extended to denote information (with resort to the ornate baroque italic calligraphy supplied by the engraver Antonio Francesco Lucini) as to currents, prevailing winds, magnetic deviation as well as quantified soundings (another crucial innovation). Yet, despite its undoubted utilitarian purpose, it has been opined that the atlas' promotion by its dedicatee, Grand Duke Ferdinand II of Tuscany, was politically motivated so as to award it as a gift to his foreign counterparts. Several banks and sand bars are rendered on the map, each delimited by double dotted lines. The Grand Bank itself is a large winged expanse tapered by northern and southern flanks indented by semicircles, one of which contains crosses that accord with the Virgin Rocks hazard and perforated by smaller doubled dotted lines indicating uneven and shallower depths. In contrast to Champlain's rendering, the Grand Bank curves in a gentle arc eastward from Newfoundland. There are numeric fathom soundings as liberally shown elsewhere on what amount to a submerged chainof plateaus. There are stylised inscriptions such as 'Corrente Verso Maestrale' [Current to the [northwest] mistral [wind]] - (probably indicative of the Labrador current) ; 'L'Venti Sono spesso verso Ponente' [The winds are often westerly] ; 'laria fredda e asciutta [The cold and dry air]; 'Seccangna Lunga'[Long Bank]; and, 'La Gran Banca o Seccagna di Terra Nuova dove si pescano li merluzi' [The Grand Bank of Newfoundland where cod is caught]. Although known for heavily inscribing the coasts with nomenclature, Dudley was liable to fill otherwise empty space with different versions of the same name - e.g. 'G. di Bacalao' and 'B. di Bacalao' in addition to 'I. Bacalao' - with the suspicion that they were inserted to balance the map's appearance but this example uses more nomenclature than his other maps, especially on Newfoundland's western flank. The nomenclature frequently compounds Italianized English and French names. However, given the maritime emphasis, this is at the expense of showing much in the way of settlements. There are a few geographical curiosities on the map such as the pronounced exaggeration of Avalon peninsula compared with the rest of Newfoundland which appears to derive from charts of the Atlantic which Dudley probably accessed at his Florence base.

Title A name given to the resource A chart of the coasts of Newfoundland, with the fishing districts marked Subject The topic of the resource "by Augustine Fitzhughe, living next doare to the Shipp in Virgine Street, anno 1693" Description An account of the resource The growing intensity of political rivalry concerning fisheries was epitomised in this heavily detailed manuscript map of 1693. Not a great deal is known about its maker, Augustine Fitzhugh, but it has been established that he had served as an apprentice to John Thornton who was renowned for The English Pilot series of maps and thus probably well versed in distinguishing features such as anchorages, soundings, and navigational hazards. Indeed, the utility and stylistics of the map accord with what has been identified as the Thames School of cartography. Adorned by two elaborate compass-roses it adapts some portolan style features, in that the more important place names of towns, or hazards, are written in red in contrast to more minor place-names in black. While depicting navigational information and explicitly indicative of the economic significance of the Grand Banks fisheries, this chart politicizes the fishery by differentiating the French and English fishing fleets. It contrasts the French fleet on the Grand Banks with English boats fishing closer to shore - thus supporting the contention that the English fishery was more of an inshore industry than one based on the actual banks - and at the same time implying a perceived imminent threat posed by French interests to England's fisheries. A legend 'The English Fishing Boats' stretches between two flags ('The King's Colours' or Great Union Flag) that extends from Cape Race to the Bay of Foggs. This has the effect of enclosing a tightly compacted fleet of boats, mostly comprised of small fishing craft, variably double or treble crewed and with nets being cast. Similarly, the shore is inscribed with toponyms with the Avalon peninsula edged in pink that continues northward to the Bay of Foggs. Smaller British flags punctuate the eastern shore alongside established harbours that are also separately shown in insets at the top and bottom of the entire map. In close attendance are two large naval vessels with red ensigns. Shore-based crews had to row as much as three or four miles daily, mooring their vessels as much as a half-mile offshore in water to forty fathoms deep. The stretch from the Avalon peninsula to Trinity Bay is rendered fairly accurately and tightly inscribed with place names, reflecting the coast with which the English would have been most familiar. All of the banks depicted are shown in a dark yellow hue with the sections further from shore more differentiated in a lighter texture. Only 'The Maine Banck' and 'The False Banck' are actually named with the former containing 'Dry' areas to indicate shallower patches. Most of the banks are connected together to give a pincer appearance around the southern and eastern shores of Newfoundland effectively enveloping the English fishing fleet. The effect is amplified by the looser but more extensive formation of vessels accompanied by two inscriptions of the legend 'French Fishing Boats'. The vast majority of French boats are proportionally larger and asymmetrical in construction than their 'English' counterparts as well as more frequently indicated to be single crewed or not crewed at all. Only occasional depictions of marine biota in the Banks are shown but they are difficult to identify with precision. The only clear illustration of fish are a pair of flatfish stylised to flank the scale cartouche. While the banks are interspersed with numeric soundings, none are given for the inshore Newfoundland fisheries bar in the harbour insets for Ferryland, St John's, Harbour Grace, and the Bay of Bulls, that also illustrate pilot guides to anchorage and fortifications flying the British flag. In the case of Ferryland, renderings of built settlement can be observed. While containing a great deal of data, the map provides a fascinating snapshot in vividly juxtaposing the English and French fishing fleets during the time of King William's War (the North American theatre of the Nine Years' War (1688-97) - the first of a series of conflicts England and France waged until the late eighteenth century). The foreboding impression of the map was indeed realised in 1696 when the French sacked the English settlements of the Avalon peninsula.

Title A name given to the resource Carte geographiqve de la Novvelle Franse faictte par le Sievr de Champlain Saint Tongois Cappitaine Ordinaire povr le Roy en la Marine Subject The topic of the resource Map of New France by Samuel de Champlain Description An account of the resource Champlain's detailed map of 1613 was produced at a time when France was markedly intensifying its commercial interests as well as seeking the North West Passage to Asia. The map's utility as a navigational tool is explicit in the presence of a compass rose and rhumb lines that reflected Champlain's detail in recording his own first-hand experiences. Indeed, the inscriptions in the upper corners of the maps describe how the map was made for sailors who used French compasses uncorrected for magnetic deviation. Champlain's rationale was explained by the sailing times that could be lost by ignoring such potential errors with further advice that ships' compasses should be adjusted once the Grand Banks were reached. Notably, the map adopts the new convention of consolidating Newfoundland (but still heavily indented) into a single triangular form. The map also serves to depict regional flora and fauna as well as illustrate indigenous peoples. Of the various marine life distinguished are cod (a 'molue' placed beyond the southern reaches of 'le Grand ban'), dogfish, bullfish, bass, garpike, sturgeon, horseshoe crab, and salmon (positioned by Newfoundland's south-western inshore fisheries) as well as marine mammals such as the sea-lion and the whale. The sea is implied to be as much as bounteous an asset as the land (although the act of fishing is absent) and with individual ships (rendered differently in size, orientation, and even shown firing artillery) also punctuating the map, there is little by way of empty space. The focal point of the cod fishery in the Grand Banks is rendered in a fine stipple with localised spraying waters indicating the navigational hazard of the Virgin Rocks - 'les miqueles rochers' - off Newfoundland's southern tip. The map significantly broke from previous conventions that the Grand Banks were uniform in shape or breadth and that even within the Grand Bank itself there was variable depth. Indeed, four individual banks are distinguished ('ban neuf', 'bangeureaux', 'ban au vert', and 'le Grand ban' with smaller areas stippled near 'banguereaux' in addition to the accurately crescent shaped 'ille de sable' complete with lighthouse indicating that it was not only a potential hazard for local fishermen but also for voyagers on direct routes between Europe and North America. Champlain's map provides no indicator of settlement on Newfoundland (contrary to Nova Scotia and rest of the North American coastline) but permanent English settlement would have been at a very embryonic stage at this time even if Champlain was aware of it. Greater clarity and scale are provided throughout than earlier maps as exemplified in its depiction of 'ille de bacallos' near Newfoundland's westernmost point. Champlain also authored an account describing his experiences that place his Grand Banks cartography in further perspective. He explains how its shape came to be drawn from the 'innumerable soundings' of 'all former seamen' whereby a soundinglead was prepared at timed intervals to ascertain that 'when he is on the [Grand] Bank he will find 45, 40, 35 and 30 fathoms, a little more or less according to latitude…'. For further confirmation an 'infinite number of birds' followed the fishing vessels to scavenge fish entrails returned to the sea. The very knowledge of the Grand Banks not only transcended its utility as a fisheries resource but also in Champlain's opinion was 'the cause of so many vessels not being lost, as they would be if it were not there, since it enables the seaman to correct his reckoning.' Champlain's cartographical portrait hinted at how the Newfoundland fisheries were more expansive (to the south and further offshore) and could be more precisely delimited than predecessors had suggested.

Title A name given to the resource La Nuova Francia Subject The topic of the resource Map of New France by Giocomo Gastaldi Description An account of the resource In 1556, a dedicated and regional woodcut map titled 'Nuova Francia' [New France] attributed to Giacomo Gastaldi held further aesthetic appeal with vivid vignettes of inhabitants not only dancing and hunting on land but also strongly indicating the prevalent opportunities for fishing along with a significant rendition of the Grand Banks. Gastaldi was associated with Giovanni Battista Ramusio, secretary to the senate of the Venetian Republic (by then a formidable trading power and a hub where geographical science was flourishing), and he served as its official cosmographer. The map is contained within the third volume of Ramusio's Navigationi et Viaggi [Navigations and Travels] (1556) published as part of a series of complementary mapping which was then one of the most comprehensive to be produced before Abraham Ortelius' seminal atlas of 1570. In its preface, Ramusio recorded how he was 'exhorted' to include new mapping of the New World in the Ptolomaic style 'but including whatever has become known up to the present, namely the coasts added in navigators' charts by Spanish pilots and captains.' The popular impact of the publication to a receptive travel literature readership was such that it was translated into other languages and necessitated reprints. The map reflects the discoveries of Jacques Cartier's voyages and those of Giovanni di Verrazano who was seeking a passage to Asia on behalf of Francis I of France. It has been suggested that by integrating information from both Cartier and Verrazano the map compounds original distortions and errors. Similarly to Rotz, the map also represents the Grand Banks of Newfoundland as an elongated arcing band (but comprised of irregularly sketched dashes and minute circles to indicate a sandy texture) and includes a quadrilateral rendering of 'Isola della rena' - Island of Sand - Sable Island's precursor. Also the fragmented group of islands south of Labrador confirmed the prevailing concept of Newfoundland as an archipelago but the island named 'Baccalaos' is noticeably elongated compared to Reinel's and Rotz's versions. Apart from the physical geography, the map is replete with illustrations that depict cultural and political dimension, attesting to a landscape and seascape of dynamism and vitality, in which fishing features very strongly. Among the fish related vignettes are a fish appearing to have been hooked on a line (handlining) from an unmasted two man crewed boat with another two man crewed boat using a rod (see figure 3b); a pair of fish hanging to dry from a bar suspended between two trees (see figure 3c); examples of gill-netting and sail-assisted drift netting (see figure 3d); and, various individual depictions of other fish and other marine life surfacing the water (as well as mythical creatures). A number of vessels are illustrated that are variably sized, crewed, masted, with sails either furled or unfurled. The political dimension is inferred from the Portuguese quinas escutcheon on in the upper right corner of the map with it also appearing on an unfurled sail nearby as well as a pair of ships in both lower corners of the map having sails adorned with French fleur-de-lys. The map would have served as an enticing prospectus for enterprise as well as invoking a frontier spirit. It depicts bountiful fish resources while also finding recourse for imaginative creativity to include winged mythical beings occupying the northern fringe of Newfoundland labelled the 'Island of Demons' [Isola de Demoni] as well as the mystery of a large blank tract 'Parte Incognita'. The vignettes of fishing (each positioned inshore from the Grand Banks) alongside the map's representation of the submerged physical maritime topography acted to reinforce the reputation of the Grand Banks' rich fishing grounds given its wide dissemination in contrast to the limited readership the Rotz Atlas manuscript would have had. Such mapping was also indicative of Italian influence in exploration (Verrazano was an Italian serving the French monarch) as well as cartographical expertise blending with French enterprise. Following Gastaldi's prolific output, which was based on an assiduous aggregation of knowledge, a succession of cartographers would have been influenced throughout Europe.

Title A name given to the resource Cartographical Perspectives on the Evolution of Newfoundland's Grand Banks Fisheries in the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Centuries Subject The topic of the resource Maps charting the evolution of Newfoundland's Grand Banks Fisheries in the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Centuries. Description An account of the resource At the turn of the sixteenth century John Cabot and his successors discovered abundant fish stocks in the waters around Newfoundland. Through the subsequent two centuries, British, French, and Iberian fisheries developed in the Grand Banks region which had a transformative and globalising impact on commerce and inter-state politics across the North Atlantic. Contemporaneous maps of the period provide another strand of evidence that supplement our knowledge of these fisheries. We emphasise how select cartography of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries rendered significant mutations and innovations in how such fisheries and adjacent waters were represented in physical and changing political contexts. We proceed to argue that a crucial innovation was the evolution of hydrographical indicators in maps of notable aesthetic appeal that would have had significant influence. We also demonstrate that more refined and accurate delineations of the Grand Banks shadowed the development of fishing activities that encompassed both Newfoundland's nearshore as well as the Grand Banks themselves.
