Then here is the complete (?) list:

1859: Bordeaux, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Scotland, London, etc
1861: Norway and Denmark
1867: Liverpool, N America, Liverpool (via where?)
1868: Gravesend, London (letter of [19 Aug])
1872: London, Woolwich (letter of 8 June)
1871/2/3: Jersey (Marx's introduction)
1873: maybe Jersey, Guernsey, and Sark (invitation by Hetzel, 28 July)
1876: coastal England (letter of [27 June])
1878: Portugal, Gibraltar and Algeria
1879: coastal Britain, including Yarmouth (letter of 9 [July]),
                Edinburgh (about 13/14 July), Edinburgh again (27 July),
                and Dover (28 July); the Hebrides, etc., presumably
                between 14 and 27 July?
1880: Ireland (Marx's introduction); Ireland, Scotland and Norway
                (at least according to AdFuye)
1881: Deal and Yarmouth (at least according to J Jules-Verne),
                the Low Countries, etc.
1884: North Africa and the Mediterranean
1887: Belgium + the Netherlands

For which of these do we have the itineraries?

1859: Work in progress, Ian and Bill have already found more detail than
will be visible in a map.

1867: I think we can safely take the data from Une ville flottante.

1868: Was this a simple return trip to Gravesend?
1872: idem for London
1871-3: idem for Jersey

1881: The trip from Rotterdam to Vlissingen has been studied by one of my
friends, the trip to Kobnhavn is described in detail by Paul Verne

1887: Almost done. There are some uncertainties about the way back from
Groningen to Amiens.

If you can add more, please do.

Best,
Garmt.
