    Default Voyage mapping app?

    Just wondered if there is a mapping app that can map the voyages of ships?

    I’ve looked online for an hour or so and can’t really find any.

    Thought it would be quite easy ..

    Thank you

    Long story

    The journey was Manchester, Tunis, Malta, Tripoli, Alexandria, Beirut, Lattakia, Limassol, Famagusta, Algiers, Liverpool

    Short version of story would be

    Conduct. First decline to comment he received in 12 years
    Dad never worked for 3 years after
    Think he beat up chef
    Mum decided she had had enough and kicked him out of house when my brother was two months old.

    Dad had very hard time in Libya and Alexandria in war.

    That journey could have taken him over edge.


    Thank you

    No idea if this will help.

    Described:

    On this page are listed shipping line brochures (with a leaning ... S/R. Italy Greece Cyprus Israel Service - Sailings and Rates 1958, January-December 1958 ... deck plans of Arabian Prince/Palestinian Prince/Syrian Prince, ...

    Fingers crossed.

    Only way to find Ships Routes of that era is to get the Voyage Record Cards for the Ship from the Guildhall Library in London
