NavList:

You have a passage making/planning chart.  You can get one for the Atlantic
too.
It cams in a form of book or huge chart book with all the passages for a
shorter route
for each month of the year.

Subject: [NavList 336] What is this chart?


>
> I have chart that I believe is from the late 1960's or 1970's and I can't
> identify its source.  It is called "ROUTE CHART Showing Major Routes of
> the
> Pacific Ocean."  It shows the entire Pacific from 60d N to 60d S and from
> 67d W to 106d E.  It is mercator, and major shipping great circle routes
> are
> shown, including mileage (e.g., "Panama - Singapore 10,527").  On the back
> of the chart is a smaller chart "Showing Major Routes Between Ports in
> Australia, New Zealand, and Islands of the Southwestern Pacific Ocean and
> Illustrating Routes in H.O. Pubs. 75, 76, 78."  There is also a smaller
> world chart showing "Limits of Sailing Directions, August 1965."
