The Explorers' Club, № DCCXCV

The Fra Mauro Map—Produced in Venice circa 1450 by the cartographer Fra Mauro, O.S.B. Cam. (1400-1464), a lay brother at the Monastery of San Michele in Isola, it is the most detailed & accurate world map produced up to that time, & prior to the discovery of the New World; the Fra Mauro Crater & surrounding Fra Mauro Highlands on the Moon are named in recognition of the great cartographer.

Commentary: The Fra Mauro Highlands were the intended landing site of the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. After the in-flight disaster prevented Apollo 13 from landing on the Moon, Fra Mauro became the intended landing site of Apollo 14 in 1971.

Semper exploro.
