Marshall Islands Stick Chart
Marshall Islanders constructed stick charts to teach navigation. The charts
incorporated ocean features, observable to the keen-eyed. This chart guides
seafarers on a 160 km (100 mi) voyage, from Jaluit Atoll to the island of Nanorik.
Curved sticks represent constant swells, while the short horizontal sticks between
them represent currents.
