This video is all about the sea of thieves map, including its real world scale, some things which you may find aid you in your sailing, and other bits of information that you'll literally never need in your life ever, but hey you know now.


I did a lot of the research for this video myself, but a lot of the credit also definitely goes to the folks at mermaid’s lullaby and their interactive map. https://www.merfolkslullaby.com

To obtain an accurate measurement for the length of the map I sailed backwards and forwards across the top of the map 5 times (10 total journeys), and then checked my statistics page on the Sea of Thieves website to get the distance sailed in metres. I then divided this measurement by 260 to get the length of a map square. I verified the measurement with the folks at mermaid's hideaway who also had a measurement of 600m.
Also I was able to calculate my average speed during this journey, as 39km/h (29mph), so if you want to go from Southampton to New York, it's gonna take you about 6 days.
All the measurements I got in this video were based off pixel measurements on photoshop.
Also this video literally took a week to render because it's 4k 60fps and the map image is huge so takes ages to render and after effects is also a really slow program so thank you to my pc for casually staying switched on for a week straight.
