This sheet features two charts showing sections of English coastline on the North Sea. At top is a chart of the area around the town of Margate in Kent. The other chart shows the towns of Blakeney and Cley-next-the-Sea on the northern coast of Norfolk. Each chart includes place names and topographical detail inland and soundings, hazards, information on the tides, and the course of the currents, as signified by arrows. The compass roses orient north to the bottom.
