Here is a link to Edward Wright's world chart originally published in 1599 showing the Scillies. His choice for the prime meridian appears to be in the Cape Verde Islands, about 22� west of Greenwich. http://maps.bpl.org/id/06_01_000090/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@navlist.net To , send email to NavList-@navlist.net -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
