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

Ideally I want to follow the journey of Syrian Prince in 1958
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

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
