DESCRIPTION

A beautiful chart showing Nantucket and its harbor along with great terrestrial details. Numerous soundings, hazards and aids to navigation, rocks, shoals and lighthouses are shown. Shaded relief by hachures, properties, buildings, roads, piers and vegetation are depicted. Sailing directions, tidal information and other notes are given. Two nice elevation views show the approach to Nantucket Harbor and the approach to Nantucket. A scarce and highly desirable chart.

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.
