A large, handsome and important Revolutionary War chart published by the Depot de la Marine. This chart was available to the French fleet when the focus of the war shifted to the south. It extends from Delaware Bay and Philadelphia south through much of Georgia to Island Amelia and St. Johns River. Good detail along the coast plus much inland information on rivers, cities, mountains and forts. Fleur-de-lis and rhumb lines fill the sea.
