Waghenaer (c. 1533-1606) was a Dutch marine cartographer and navigator. He grew up in the important port of Enkuizen. From 1550-1579 he served at sea, increasing his practical knowledge of sailing and charting. His first publication was the famous Speigel der Zeevaerdt, or Mariner’s Mirror, which appeared in 1584. It was the first engraved sea atlas.
