I'm guessing, but I'd figure the intersections are islands, and the curvy lines currents, and also if you put me in a canoe and said paddle to this other island across the ocean, I'm probably dead in an hour.
I'd be lying if I said I knew what any of that means. To me, it looks like the Snyders's pretzels I'm eating. That's how smart I am. However, it *is* cool to look at.
Here's more info about these charts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Islands_stick_chart The Wikipedia article actually includes a picture of the chart we saw at the museum. But they had a few more of them on display. It was really neat!
I guess if that's a chart then I've got all kinds of charts all over my house--or at least I've got pile and conglomerations of stuff that one might construe as having some kind of meaning.

Impressive. I totally have no idea how any of it works (not that I know much about sea charts anyway) but it's really cool looking.

ReplyDeleteElsie: Your pretzel comment made me lol.

Tossing It Out
Lee: I don't think "meaning" is what that's called.
