[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 4495317, member: 76316"]This is from the same batch of German 19th? C maps as Sierra Leone, yesterday. The sentence above Englische Meilen translates to [I]This line shows Mr. Campell's journey. [/I] Perhaps a fairly significant record of early Christian history in South Africa...and who was Mr Campell? There are no extra-border engravers notes, and tho' I haven't searched the entire map, no obvious dates. Under the coin in the upper right corner is Delagoa Bay...it has probably been renamed, but I'm gonna see what Google Earth has to show there. Edit: Maputo, Capitol city of Mozambique, is on Delagoa Bay. Thanks for lookin'...and for your erudite commentary!
