Abstract

Edmond Halley, he of Comet fame, made three voyages in the Paramore from 1698 to 1701. This very detailed map, showing the coasts of England and France on either side of the English Channel, is the result of Halley’s third voyage in 1701. It contains very comprehensive information on the tidal variations in the Channel – an invaluable resource for any ship’s navigator.
