map: Ever Given and Other Things
an exploration for the sense of scale on a map
There’s no question that the map that won the Ever Given mania was Ever Given Ever Ywhere by Garrett Dash Nelson ( @en_dash). It inspired me to make Evergiven and Other Things, an interactive map that lets you place certain objects (like the Ever Given, the USS Midway or the Pentagon) in different geographic contexts to test your sense of scale for large objects in the real world.
For example, how many Norwegian Cruise Liners would fit on the National Mall?
