DESCRIPTION

A finely detailed chart of the entrance and main channel of the Damariscotta River showing numerous soundings, islands, rocks, inlets, lighthouses, and landforms. The chart shows from Damiscone Island in the south up to New Castle at the outfall of the Damariscotta River. Tidal and sounding notes are given as aids to navigation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
