Rare Amelia Earhart Search Area Map- Hand Drawn Calligraphy - USS Lexington 1937. Very rare original hand drawn illuminated map of the vast search area for Ameila Earhart. The creator of this map was a cook on the USS Lexington, a famous aircraft carrier that went down in World War II. If you are interested in this map then you already know the story. I haven't been able to find anything like this online. The material is a vellum like paper and is in very good condition for its' age. A... very creative and artistic map! Approximately 12" by 15". Also included is a period poster of the Lexington, also owned by the cook on the ship.
