John Norie (1772-1843) was a hydrographer, chart publisher, teacher and author of navigation manuals. This preeminent cartographic firm exists today as Imray, Laurie, Norie & Wilson Ltd, still specializing in nautical charts.
Norie & Wilson were successors to Charles Wilson and were one of the most successful producers of blue-back sea-charts in the late 19th century, working for both the Admiralty and East India Company.
