Possible Research Activities for Team 2 (Summer Transcription 2014)



It is suggested that we use google maps to record the voyages of individual ships, or people or specific occupations.

Here is a very simple example using a witness statement from a voyage made by the ship fortune [1]

To create a google map you will need a google account. When you click on the search box an option to create your own map should come up.
