Due to a prompt from two-thirds of the co-organisers of the Thursday Maps and Society Lectures (Warburg Institute, London) [www.maphistory.info/warburgprog.html], and being in possession of the facts, here are details of this years E.G.R. Taylor Annual Lecture extracted from my near-completed database listing of the 50 years (1960-2010) of these Lectures. Although organised this year by the Royal Institute of Navigation there is a rotating organisational roster shared between RIN, SNR, Hakluyt Society, and Royal Geographical Society-IBG - the appended announcement is edited (by the undersigned) from the Society for Nautical Researchs Newsletter of August 2010, 79, p.7:- Royal Geographical Society, 5.30 for 6.30 pm, Thursday, 14 October 2010: Captain Hans Kok on Dutch maritime charts between 1550 and 1800. The Royal Institute of Navigation will take the chair for this occasion. Captain Kok began flying and navigating with KLM-Royal Dutch Airlines on the last series of the four-engined propeller planes in intercontinental operation [. . .]. His lecture, covering the golden age of Netherlands maritime and chart-making activity, will describe the central control over navigation and chart-making exercised by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as distinct from the arrangements common in the English East India Company [. . .]. The lecture will be illustrated by slides of the charts and is free. A candle-lit supper is held afterwards in the RGS and supper tickets (£25) must be purchased in advance by 7 October on +44 (0)20 7591 3100 [Events Office, RGS-IBG]. Each of the E.G.R. Taylor Annual Lectures four co-sponsors will probably have for their respective members with internet access further and/or fuller details if needed.
