Great Lakes–Greenland—WW2 North Atlantic strategy—Richard Edes Harrison 1940 map
£70
SKU: P-8-007006
'Map 2: Great Lakes to Greenland'
A dramatic double-page perspective looking north-east from the industrial Great Lakes and eastern seaboard across Canada, Newfoundland and Greenland towards Europe. Harrison brings the North Atlantic into visual reach: shipping, flying-boat and defence routes link New York and Canadian ports with Iceland, Ireland, Britain and continental Europe, while relief modelling makes the United States–Canadian border secondary to the continuity of the terrain. The accompanying text identifies the Chicago–Detroit–Cleveland–Pittsburgh manufacturing belt and St Lawrence corridor as strategic assets in any conflict. Published before American entry into the Second World War, the map taught Fortune’s readers to see Canada and the northern ocean not as remote margins but as the essential approach to Europe.
