A room on a ship where navigational maps and charts are stored and displayed for use by the crew.
From chart (Old French carte) + room (Old English rum meaning 'space'). The compound emerged as naval terminology for the ship's dedicated maproom.
Before computers, the chartroom was the nerve center of navigation—sailors would gather around to plot courses, check their position, and debate the safest route around hazards.
