DESCRIPTION

A very nice overview chart of the area from Cape Cod and Boston north to Cape Small Point. Shows numerous soundings, tidal, bottom and lighthouse information. Some terrestrial elements shown such as railroad, towns, harbors, headlands, and places.

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.
