        Yes, that's what I would think.

          Guy,
          That 2nd wood plate, that middle Kanji means drawing.
          Do you think the wood plate now means Sea (Ocean) drawing( map) room?

            Hi Mr. Chen!!

            Thanks for the help. I thought it was the old kanji for dan/group. But you're right it is the old for meaning 'chart', 'drawing', and map.

            Sooooooo:
            海圖室
            Sea Chart Room
            That makes more sense!!!

            Thanks!!!
