CARTOGRAPHY IN TRINITY

Where does the name come from?

The Trinity is the name of the flagship of the legendary pirate Bartholomew Sharp. Captain Sharp sailed the seas of the Caribbean capturing plunder and treasures abound. Captain Sharp is commonly believed to have been the first man to have sailed east around the Cape Horn. Perhaps what the disreputable renegade is most known for is not something one would typically expect from a buccaneer. Perhaps his greatest treasure of all was not made of gold or silver but ink and parchment. The Trinity, a great Spanish Galleon, was captured by Captain Sharp in the spring of 1680. In her hold was the most comprehensive collection of maps and charts any pirate had ever laid their eyes on. The collection was beautifully designed and incredibly accurate. The "Cartography in Trinity" was worth more than all the treasure in his holds. We are a company of renegade spirits. We break the rules of standard expectations to find new creative GIS solutions. We also thoroughly enjoy ourselves in the process. We make maps but we can also get rowdy and have a good time on the, like Sharp's renegades.
