It marks the Mediterranean and Red Sea, Cape of Good Hope and the crossing between Aspinwall and Panama, two years before the Suez Canal opened and decades before the Panama Canal. Published in 1867, the year Pacific Mail inaugurated regular San Francisco–Yokohama–Hongkong services, it records how ocean routes and railway crossings connected the treaty ports with global mail and passenger networks. Dennys calculated fifty-four days from England to Hongkong via the Atlantic, Panama railway and Pacific. His transport information drew on P. \u0026amp; O. and Messageries Impériales schedules, with information assembled for Pacific Mail and Alfred Holt. Exceptionally scarce: our research located no other separate dealer or auction record for this world map.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020020666715,"sku":"P-8-007076","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-007076a.jpg?v=1788980449","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/the-ocean-steam-routes-of-the-world-pacific-centred-shipping-map-dennys-1867-p-8-007076","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
