John Norie (1772-1843) was a hydrographer, chart publisher, teacher and author of navigation manuals. He started out as a draftsman for William Heather, who he succeeded in 1812. Their business, located at 157 Lendenhall Street in London, became known as Naval Academy or Naval Warehouse. This preeminent cartographic firm exists today as Imray, Laurie, Norie & Wilson Ltd, still specializing in nautical charts.
