We often think of maps as representations of lands measured and explored, to be crossed or conquered. Yet the world of cartography also contains treasures that reveal the high seas, with their dangerous shores and prosperous harbors. Join us to explore Egor Manganari's magnificent Atlas of the Black Sea produced in the 1800s, and to learn about the knowledge that maritime maps contain, and what digital historians can build with them!
