Which country in the Baltic Sea has the most ports? Which ports are the largest? Do all the Baltic capital cities have a port? These are some of the questions I wanted to answer with this map.
By overlaying a grid on the map and styling each port by country color and harbor size, I could easily create a table that doubles as an explanatory legend.

One of my goals was to fully develop this map in QGIS, without using any other software. To balance the perhaps too technical look of the grid and tables, I wanted to give the map itself a somewhat vintage appearance using textures and shorelines.
Data obtained from the World Port Index.
