"Cartagena Harbour [on sheet with] Boca Chica or Little Entrance to Cartagena Harbour Enlarged", British Admiralty

This huge chart gives incredible detail of Cartagena harbor with a large inset of Boca Chica, the entrance to Cartagena harbor. The waters are filled with depth soundings, shoals, rocks, banks, and navigational notes. There is little detail on land with the exception of topography of several hills and a bird's-eye plan of the city of Cartagena. Also included are two land approach views between Fort San Jose and Fort San Fernando from opposite directions. Surveyed by J. Parsons in 1854. Engraved by J. & C. Walker and originally published in 1856 with corrections through 1885.
