Charts? The charts the skippers had were found at the local library and did not have depth. Some skippers had just old maps to work with or a lame National Geographic map that was outdated. Charts showing depth around islands were not available. Anyway, if you are in TC the game will stop you if you are about to ground....most times anyway!

That can't be right: Surely the Admiralty surveyed the whole world in the 19th century, and those charts were commercially available. Plus the USN had been nosing out the Pacific for years prior, knowing full well war with Japan was possible.
Or am I just a victim of ancient imperialist flannel?
