This clear and detailed Spanish map of the western part of Cuba includes coastal features, soundings, navigational hazards, currents, coastal islands, lighthouses and settlements, including Havana. The chart was originally drawn in 1837 and has been updated to 1854 with this edition. Spanish sea charts are rare on the market.
