Map and information from Barry Weaver's St. Helena Virtual Library and Archive at www.bweaver.nom.sh A fantastic resource of books, maps and views of St. Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.
The map above is from the 1732 edition of Herman Moll's Atlas, originally published in London in 1729, there were numerous subsequent editions of Moll's atlas from 1732 on through the mid-1760s. Moll's map mostly is derived from an earlier map by John Seller but has some notable differences. The overall outline of the island is smoother and Sugerlofe Pt is not as prominent as on Seller's map. Landing Place and Watering Place have been added at the mouth of James Valley, and, compared to Seller's map, George Island has become St. Georges I., Horse Pasture Point has become Horse and Pasture Pt, Banckes Platform has become Blankerts Platform, Manate Bay has become Manata Bay, and Powells Bay has become Pervels Bay.
The longitude given on the map for James Fort is further west than actual but it was only in 1736 that Harrison conducted the first trial (from London to Lisbon) of his marine clock, accurate timekeeping being essential for accurately determining longitude. The first transatlantic trial of his improved clock was not until 1761.
Saturday night my brother took advantage of me being really high and persuaded me to enter an orienteering competition the following afternoon.
So on sunday we both joined our parents - lifelong orienteering enthusiasts - and went all together to the event. Haven't been with a map and compass for at least ten years, I felt a bit strange in a starting corridor but once i went in a forest I was surprised how pleasant it was. Though my thirty years older father beat us with ease, I enjoyed that hour in a forest so much as well as meeting other club members who I haven't seen for so long.
Great afternoon, thanks bro!

Displacement maps are psd files with a texture. The light and dark values are used to modify text or images so that they appear to be embedded in the texture. The filter to modify the text is Distort>displace. The displacement map has to be the same size as the file being modified and it has to be a psd file (not jpg).
The route in 5 days, sometimes we made detours so we came to 500 km. We slept in Oostwoud, Workum, Baars, Elburg and Amsterdam. Very nice trip!
