English: Naval Historical Center, Washington, D.C. (Sept. 9, 2003) – A painting by E. Sophonisba Hergesheimer of Cmdr. Matthew Fontaine Maury, USN, (1806-1873), painted in 1923. Concerned that Sailors lacked standardized ocean wind and current charts and methods for taking meteorological readings at sea, the then Lt. Maury called an international conference that met in Brussels, Belgium, in August 1853. This conference established international cooperation as key to maintaining accurate navigational charts for all mariners. The Navy Museum celebrated the contributions of Matthew Maury standardizing navigational charts and meteorology at sea by opening its reinstallation of a permanent exhibition on navigation entitled “Pathfinding on the Seas” on Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2003.
