This small, very rare sea chart depicts the Hari Strait between the Estonian islands of Dago (Hiiumaa) and Wormso (Vormsi). There is navigational information in the strait, including depth soundings and an anchorage. Detail is sparse inland, but there are a few graphically rendered houses and trees. A dozen or so locations are keyed, but the corresponding legend is not present in this lot. Published in Amsterdam.
