This unusual chart contains thirteen small plans of important harbors throughout the UK and Europe. Each is marked with anchorages and hazards to navigation. Includes Isle de Bas in Brittany, Plymouth Sound, Falmouth Sound, Setubal Portugal, Bayona Spain, and Le Havre on the River Seine among the charts. It is from a Dutch coasting pilot, but we can't identify the publisher and find no record of its being on the market previously.
