Gran Marn Version 2

This is the version of my "Gran Marn" map which has a flaw in the ship paths corrected.

Again, I apologize to any who built on the first version and were disappointed to find ships not working.

For further description and photos, see the original map, here:

The name ("Promontoria") was changed to distinguish the current version from the older, flawed version; and also because it was (correctly) pointed out to me that the name "Gran Marn" does tend unfortunately to resemble "Gran Mam" at a glance ....

Like the Dolerite theme states, this is loosely inspired by geological formations at the Palisades Inter-State Park in New Jersey, U.S.A. and at Tasman National Park in Australia.

Ridiculous name trivia, re: "Gran Marn": The original idea for the map came from a vague memory of the town of Cape Suzette from the Disney cartoon, "TaleSpin," i.e. a bay city surrounded by cliffs which could only be approached through a narrow gap in sea cliffs. Apparently, the name "Cape Suzette" is a pun on the French desert, Crepe Suzette, which is made with the liquor, Grand Marnier ... hence all the orange trees. Doesn't "Gran Marn" sound like an exotic sub-tropical sea-side city though?
