The maps of the Riddle of the Sands that put Dorothea off are available via links from this page.
And while I'm at it, E.F.Knight's Falcon on the Baltic is also available online.
I suspect both Ransome and Childers must have read it before they both cruised the Baltic - Childers twenty years before Ransome, in 'a very ugly little 5 tonner with no headroom'. There's more on Childers' sailing life via the National Maritime Museum.
