A Deep Chart

Charles Travis, Trinity College Dublin; Richard Breen, Trinity College Dublin | Nov 8, 2020

Inventing the Grand Banks: A Deep Chart is an interactive digital timeline map that explores John Cabot’s 1497 encounter with a ‘newfoundland’ that invented the “Grand Banks” and started the early modern Fish Revolution. This development overlapped with the southern Atlantic Triangular Trade of enslaved people, sugar, and tobacco to capitalize modern European and North American societies. The timeline includes letters regarding John Cabot’s 1497 voyage; Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch, English, and American nautical charts; and English and French Cod‐Catch records.
