Early Florida maps, shipwrecks, &

Actually Alex... I will take anything rare and prior to 1800.
 

It's possible to overlay these on GoogleEarth as a transparency and stretch them to kind of fit for some entertainment. Other software using control points will do a better job of fitting the maps.

Thank you. Any Gulf of Honduras / British Honduras - specifically looking at Belize / Ambergris Caye area would be appreciated.
I have quite a few but always willing to add.

In English...

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]The Marine Charter could be considered the world's first printed nautical map.
It is a huge map made by the German cartographer Martin Waldseem-ller in 1516, at a key moment when there was talk of a new land but few knew what it was like.
The 1516 Marine Charter shows for the first time a drawing of the outline of the world as close to what we know today.
It includes a deformed American continent, hundreds of sea routes, and geographic information that was not previously known on other maps.
This Charter is a continuation of another famous map of the Waldseem-ller himself, which in 1507 he created and which is marked as the birth certificate of America, because it was the first time that the continent received that name.
