Companion to the Datini Letters map: a new Voyages explorer for the Melis archive. 3,393 Mediterranean ship records (1379–1492). Arcs coloured by predominant vessel type per route. Ports geocoded via @whgazetteer.org. docuracy.github.io/datini/viagg... #DigitalHumanities #DH #MedievalMed

Map of the Mediterranean and adjacent waters on a dark basemap, showing 3,393 ship voyages from the Melis archive (1379–1492) as curved arcs between origin and destination ports. Arc colour encodes the predominant vessel type on each route: red for galleys (galea, galeotta, fusta, saettia), purple for cogs and carracks, gold for general sailing ships (nave, navetta, panfilo), teal for Mediterranean coastal traders (liuto, rampino, vacchetta), magenta for brigantines and pinnaces, sky-blue for boats and small craft, muted purple for unspecified types. Arc width scales to voyage count per route. The densest threads cluster across the western Mediterranean between Italy, Catalonia and the Balearics, with prominent reaches out to North Africa, the Aegean, the English Channel and the Atlantic. A left-hand sidebar lists filters — dated-only toggle, year range, vessel-type chips colour-matched to the map — and a legend giving each category's example types.

As tickets go on sale to see the Bayeux Tapestry* in London, reminder that you can see a stitch-by-stitch* full-size replica of it* FOR FREE, any time you like at (of all places) the Reading Museum. It's fabulous. Go Sat 2pm for the guided talk: it's ace. (That museum really needs a better PR!)
