DESCRIPTION

A nice large-scale chart showing great detail of the harbor at Providence, Rhode Island, and over to East Providence. Bathymetry is shown with numerous soundings, shading, bottom details, rocks, aids, and hazards to navigation, and islands. Place names, a railroad, and some piers and bridges are shown as well.

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.
