    Thanks Gidde.

    Another update on this - ship-loads of labelling to do, as well as a bit more to connect the callouts with the actual locations - not too sure how this will work out at this stage, but we will see.

    Oooh, much better. The callouts are really standing out now. In a good way.

    Didn't read everything, but I did notice that the 10 June 1718 box has a missing letter typo "Revnge".

    This is such a great presentation. I like the callouts a lot and you did an amazing job with all of those coastlines.

    Thanks Gidde, I have now put a really small drop shadow on them to make them stand out a bit more, and slightly changed the colours. What do you think?

    Thanks rdanhenry, I missed that one (and have since spotted a couple more that also need correcting.

    Thanks aeshnidae. Still loads more labelling to go, and I need to decide what I am going to do with the title - no idea at all here...

    ... and yes, I have just noticed that 1717 is missing a "7" from the title!

    Oh yes, even better. Except that with the drop shadow on the callouts it looks really weird that they are beneath the trails. Like now the trails are climbing over the floating text.

    Last update - most likely - would love to put in loads more labels but am rapidly running out of time...

    Spiffy work, I love that you get to learn some history from scoping the callouts, really cool piece!
