Mariner's Mirror is the German edition of Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer's pioneering printed sea atlas, published by Cornelis Claesz in Amsterdam in 1589. Translated and expanded by Richard Slotboom, its two parts combine practical sailing directions and navigational instruction with forty-seven engraved charts of the Atlantic, North Sea, and Baltic coasts of Europe. Waghenaer's systematic pairing of coastal charts with profiles, soundings, landmarks, and hazards transformed the traditional pilot book and helped establish a new model for printed nautical atlases used by European mariners.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
