Royal Danish Chart Archive (sold)
The Royal Danish Chart Archive (1784 - 1973) or Det Kongelige Danske Søkaart-Archiv was established by the Danish Crown in 1784. Impressed by the French Dépôt des Cartes de Marine, the crown recruited Captain Lieutenant Poul de Løwenørn to act as the first director of the archive. Løwenørn collected nautical charts from all parts of the world. The archive later began issuing its own charts, often improving and updating older charts. The archive was merged with the Nautical Chart Archive and Life Guard in 1973.

This is an 1820 Royal Danish Nautical Charts Archive nautical chart or map of the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, two straits in Scandinavia. Depicting the region from southern Norway to the western coast of Sweden, rhumb lines criss-cross the illustrated sea areas, serving as navigational aids. Depth soundings appear along the Danish and Swedish coasts and along essential sea lanes, but are curiously absent from the Norwegian coastline. Coastal islands are illustrated and labeled. The presence of manuscript notes suggests this chart was sailed. (more details)
