The idea of drawing those maps, which now hang in every classroom I have ever seen, by hand seems like a Herculean task. There are so many mundane things that we take for granted now because it is easy to do on computer. Ah, the stories where arrogant, condescending "top of the Field" scientists get proven totally and utterly wrong. Wonderful and a good lesson in humility. The Scientific establishment might be right most of the time, but "most" is not "all". The fact this happened in a pretty sexist environment by a women just makes it better. Interesting that having a "women on board" was taken to be bad luck, that just sounds so backwards coming from a ship engaged in scientific research and paid for by scientists.
