One of the finest charts produced by the Coast Survey. Fully and beautifully engraved with as much detail on land as along the coastline. Filled with hundreds of soundings, plus anchorages, hazards, bottom type, and tables of buoys, light houses, and tides. The detail on shore of roads, houses, fields, villages and railroads is truly remarkable. Lengthily notes provide sailing directions. Seven sea view elevations show the land from various approaches.
