This sea chart depicts the coastline of Portugal from Porto to Peniche. There is good detail of the mouths of the rivers and of the Berlengas Archipelago just off the coast of Cape Carvoeiro. Two compass roses orient north to the left. The chart is handsomely embellished with a sailing ship, a distance scale surmounted by cherubs, and a large title cartouche featuring villagers pouring port wine into large ceramic containers.
