Lloyd’s Maritime Atlas has this type of info but I’m not sure how far back it goes. We only have the most current edition.

All,

 

I have a patron interested in locating navigational charts/maps from the 1940s that show shipping lane routes (commercial and military) in the North Atlantic.  I’m coming up empty so I thought I’d ask and see if anyone might have some suggestions.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Dennis
