The Sea Road to Outremer Framed Print
The voyage to the land beyond the sea.
For most crusaders and pilgrims, the road to the Holy Land was a sea road. The great merchant cities of Venice, Genoa and Pisa grew rich carrying pilgrims, knights and trade across the Mediterranean, and Acre became the busiest port of the crusader kingdom.
Drawn as a Venetian-style chart in teal and ivory, this map traces the sea routes from Venice, Genoa, Pisa and Marseille through the Strait of Messina, past Candia on Crete, Rhodes and Cyprus, to Acre, with crusader ships under sail and a compass rose.
Fresh and elegant, it suits a living room, study or coastal home, and makes a fine gift for sailors, travellers and history lovers.
Printed on premium matte paper with a rich, glare-free finish, and set in a dark wood frame, ready to hang.
