Hand-drawn Old-World Style Cartography Art with Sailing Ships, Mermaids & Sea Monsters captures the spirit of Ambergris Caye, Belize.
 
This ink drawing began my love of drawing charts, mermaids, and sea monsters.
At the time, I was living in Belize, and no maps of Ambergris Caye were available to the public. So, I talked with the local fishermen to obtain the names of the bays and small islands surrounding the caye. And for details, a commander in the RAF procured a satellite map of the area for me. Still, with this bird's-eye view, I used a bit of artistic license in the lagoon and mangrove areas up the west coast. The mangroves are a web of canals, not a solid shoreline, but they look solid from space. Channels were often cleared through the mangrove to harbor ships during storms and were once cut by pirates to hide their ships, and many are in use today for bird-watching and to catch a glimpse of the American Crocodiles.
      A local historian appreciated my interest and provided information on the old merchant ships and schooners that plied the waters off the coast and a list of known shipwrecks. The two scrolls (center left) record historical events and a list of a few known shipwrecks along the reef. I was so into the history of the caye that I drew this map using a crow quill pen. Modern tech pens seemed taboo.
 
Pour a rum, sit back, and let this map transport you to idyllic days in Belize.
