Inger,

        Will you at least give a name or short description and date for
the map?

        Are there no copies, drawings, images, etc. of that map
anywhere but in a Swedish Defense Force warship? And if so,
isn't a warship a chancy place to put the only copy of an
important map by arguably the most famous map maker ever?
