SKU
'South America - Puerto Santa Cruz to Cabo Pilar including the Falkland Islands'
This is an original Admiralty sea chart used on board HMS Glamorgan during the 1982 Falklands War by Navigating Officer Ian Inskip. Commander Inskip was at the helm of the Glamorgan when it came under attack from an Argentine Exocet missile. He ordered a high speed turn away from the missile, which prevented it hitting the side of ship perpendicularly and penetrating the hull, instead resulting in a glancing blow. Although 14 crew members were killed in the strike, the damage caused was relatively minor and Glamorgan is the only ship to have survived an Exocet strike. Cdr Inskip later wrote a book entitled "Ordeal by Exocet". His oral history of the war, whcih refers to these maps, is online at https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/80013235
