Even pretty damn quicker, the seller 'Gail' refunded half the nominal postage before I'd even had a shower and dressed. ( TMI? )


I've also bid for this lot.....

Always fancied a bleklab to drag me along winter beaches in my dotage......

I have a collection of charts some unused but past their "sell by date" including my own which I am quite happy to use up here in NW Highlands.
Just for the fun of it I have enough charts to get me across the Atlantic to the Caribbean;one of the Cook Islands;Isles Gambier;and not forgetting Anchorages in the Toamoto Archipelego.These are origional Admiralty surveys circa 1860s upgraded by NZ survey in 1960s.
Last but not least an unused British Steel Global Challenge Chart of the Magellan Straits plus one of the the south west Pacific with the routing still marked on it of one of the Global Challenge Vessels as it headed through the southern Ocean towards Cape Horn back in the 1990s..

Am I I reading this listing correctly? The auction seems to be for single charts, rather than folios. I know sc1977 is a single chart which for £19.50 delivered ain't all that good a bargain on folio-type paper.

Nope. Just like me....

I misunderstood, too - and queried. Best to go peek at the seller's 'other items'. Granted it is a bit confusing...but then I'm easily confused!
