There are 4 examples showing hashing where water meets land. And there are 4 examples showing water represented by blue and wavy lines.
While I always enjoy seeing examples of historical images, many of these are not at all from the early 15th century. Some could be older but some are definitely newer. I only checked the Ferrara map and it is from 1679 (approx).
You are right that some are not from the early 15th century. The examples showing hashing are more variable in dates. However many are from around that time period particularly those illustrating the blue and white wavy lines. I will see if I can get you a list of dates of the various illustrations. When I finish my write up of this I will show with examples that water represented that way is a particular feature of that time period and region are differently represented in other regions and time periods.
