| Video Discription | More than 300 years ago, a French marine pilot spent months on a ship navigating the northern Gulf Coast, carefully charting the land and water features in a hand-drawn map. That very document went on to influence more than a century of western cartography. This video highlights this foundational document of French knowledge in the new world and reveals the story of an artifact, with its edges charred from a shipboard fire, that survived against all odds to the present day.
