sailing/cruising manuals for sailors Explanation: Ancient 'manuals contained cruising and dire warnings for sailors'. I this case Italian is pleonastic. 'Portolan charts' are also called 'harbour-finding charts' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portolan_chart The word portolan' comes from the Italian adjective 'portolano', meaning "related to ports or harbors", or "a collection of sailing directions".[1] https://www.lib.umn.edu/apps/bell/map/PORTO/INTRO/intro2.html |
