Portolani During This Period

 

Maps (like those on p. 64-70, 74-90, 94-108 and 112-114) available to Frobisher, Drake and Davis and their contemporaries in the 16th century could have been available, although of course it is unlikely that many of the pirate and privateer maps of the time were made public.
