For Marina Director General Tomas Fernandez G. and Dockmaster Rogelio “Roger” Gregg, the expansion slated for the empty gravel lot and waterfront just south of the marina and boatyard means more than just being able to serve more boaters; it will add a badly needed facility housing the dockmaster’s and customer-service offices.

One of the most important is the Carta Marina, the 1516 nautical map of the world by Martin Waldseemüller, the author of the 1507 world map that was acquired by the Library in 2003.
Equal in size to the 1507 map, the Carta Marina is markedly superior to the earlier map in artistic detail, reflecting possibly the hand of the artist Albrecht Dürer, and incorporates greatly expanded and corrected geographical information.
The Carta Marina could be considered the first printed nautical map of the entire world.

 BibliOdyssey: Scandinavian Trolls   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Magnus was responsible for the famous 1539 Scandinavian map, 'Carta Marina' [5Mb complete work or sectioned jpeg images] and released the massive 'Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus' in 1555, which purported to outline the history of the Nordic peoples.
It may be coincidental but 'Carta Marina' was 'lost' for 3 centuries, only to be rediscovered in 1882, around the time when troll illustrations began to appear in popular literature.
Romantic fairytale illustrators Theodor Severin Kittelsen (i, ii, iii) John Bauer (i, ii, iii) and Elsa Beskow (i, ii, iii) are regarded as the leading artists of the polymorphic troll figure from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Spanish, sponsors of the first explorations into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, considered geographical knowledge as state secrets and were particularly secretive with the information of the New World brought back by their ships.
The Carta Esférica represented an important advance in geographical knowledge and remained the prototype for maps of the Gulf for many years.
The Carta Particular was also an improvement over the English charts, which it superseded, and is the first large scale printed chart of the Texas coast based on actual soundings and explorations.

 September 2003 - Library of Congress Information Bulletin
By 1513, when Waldseemüller and the Saint-Dié scholars published the new edition of Ptolemy's "Geographiae," and by 1516, when Waldseemüller's famous "Carta Marina" was printed, he had removed the name "America" from his maps, perhaps suggesting that even he had second thoughts about honoring Vespucci exclusively for his understanding of the New World.
In the1516 "Carta Marina," South America is called Terra Nova (New World) and North America is named Cuba and is shown to be part of Asia.
At some later time, the family of Prince Waldburg-Wolfegg acquired and retained Schöner's portfolio of maps in their castle in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, where it remained unknown to scholars until the beginning of the 20th century when its extraordinary contents were revealed.

The woodcut was published in Lorenz Fries's Uslegung der Mercarthen oder Carta Marina, or Guide and Instructions for the Carta Marina, in Strasbourg, 1525, where it served as an illustration of an island people who were discovered by Columbus (Johnson 111).
The woodcut was later published in Amerigo Vespucci's Carta Maritima in Strasbourg, 1530 (Moffitt and Sebastian 119).
Vespucci's first letters were initially printed in Florence in 1505 and were quickly translated into many other European languages; a German publisher included this woodcut in his publication, as well as numerous other woodcuts (Honour 10-11), which contributed to an influx of sensationalized stories about the New World as both untamed and fruitful.
