    P. L. Sandberg

    Feb. 22nd 1913
    ' at lower left, appears to chart a six month voyage aboard a number of different vessels (
    A.T. S.S. Minnehaha, P&O S.S. Sumatra, P&O S.S. Nankin, T.K. S.S. Tenyo Maru
    ). beginning in

    Condition Report:
    some surface wear, age toning, staining, damage at left middle and top left as
    shown, dirty/dusty from years of storage, needs cleaning. More photos on request!
    PLEASE NOTE:
    chart was originally dated 1910, but was altered by S.Y. Chief Officer Sandberg to read, 1913.  S.Y. Chief Officer P. L. Sandberg can
    possibly
    be: *Paul Louis Sandberg (England, 1878 - 1942)* but to date, we have not been able to 100% confirm this attribution*. Chart was also re-backed with modern framing materials sometime within the last couple of decades.
