The Pilot Chart of the North Atlantic Ocean is a fascinating historical piece which appeared in National Geographic Magazine in February 1903, a time when all travel and trade across the Atlantic was done by boat. It contains recommended routes for steamships, branch hydrographic offices, and a wealth of information about weather patterns over the ocean including storm and gale signals, cyclonic storm tracks, fog reports and more.
