Apart from Stevenson's map of Treasure Island in the frontispiece to
editions of his novel,
we have a maritime atlas, buy a Mr. Pirat:
Atlas géopolitique des espaces maritimes [cartographic material] :
frontières, énergie, pêche et environnement / coordination, Didier
Ortolland ; cartographie, Jean-Pierre Pirat
But for a real-life pirate chart (or rather, anti-pirate chart) get
yourself British Admitralty chart Q6099:
Indian Ocean anti-piracy planning chart.
It comes complete with advice as to how to repel Somli boarders,
including Somali-language signs.
