On the issue of "relation to history", I am distrustful of outdated nautical
maps for the same reason that I take tales of ancient beekeeping practices
with a healthy dose of salt. Both can be hazards to navigation if mistaken
for valid guides, as both are absolutely certain to become more inaccurate
and less useful with the passage of time.
