The Mediterranean : Seaports and sea routes including Madeira, the Canary Islands, the coast of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia; handbook for travellers

The Mediterranean handbook offers a compact yet thorough look at the principal sea routes and harbors that link the western and eastern shores of this historic basin. From the volcanic landscapes of Madeira and the sunny arches of the Canary Islands to the bustling ports of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, the guide sketches each stop with clear descriptions, sailing distances and practical advice for early‑twentieth‑century travelers.

Interwoven with 38 detailed maps and 49 schematic plans, the narration brings the paper charts to life, allowing listeners to picture coastlines, lighthouse positions and the rhythm of boat traffic that once defined the trade lanes. Alongside navigation tips, the book shares brief cultural observations—local markets, architectural highlights, and customs—making it a vivid audio companion for anyone imagining a voyage across the Mediterranean’s sparkling waters.
