Europe

Explore our selection of antique hydrographic maps of Europe’s seas and coastlines, including charts of the North Sea, Mediterranean, Baltic, and Atlantic approaches. These historic nautical maps capture centuries of European maritime dominance.

Antique hydrographic maps of Europe’s coastal waters represent the heartland of early maritime charting, where hydrography developed into a refined science. These historic nautical charts show detailed soundings, currents, port approaches, and coastal features used by sailors navigating between the British Isles, Scandinavia, Iberia, Italy, and North Africa.

Cartographers and hydrographic institutions such as the British Admiralty, Blaeu family, J. N. Bellin, Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, and the French Dépôt de la Marine produced renowned European charts. Their work blends precise seafaring knowledge with decorative artistry and technical annotation.

Collectors prize European hydrographic maps for both their historical significance and influence on global navigation.
