The principal lines are oriented to the magnetic north pole. [12] Thus the grid lines varied slightly for charts produced in different eras, due to the natural changes of the Earth's magnetic declination. [12] These lines are similar to the compass rose displayed on later maps and charts. "All portolan charts have wind roses, though not ...

Marine construction may require diving work, but professional diving is expensive and dangerous, and may involve relatively high risk, and the types of tools and equipment that can both function ...
Clewlines (green) and buntlines (red) for a single sail. The sail here is semi-transparent; fainter lines are running behind it. Clewlines and buntlines are lines used to handle the sails of a square rigged ship. The leechlines are clearly visible running inwards and upwards from the edges of the sail.
