Coast Chart No. 20, New York Bay and Harbor, New York

A striking, highly detailed, scarce, and sought-after chart on New York Bay, Harbor, and City. The terrestrial mapping is very highly detailed and extensive showing all of the towns, boroughs, city, road alignments, places, vegetation, and shaded relief. Very detailed bathymetric and channel information is given by numerous soundings, bearings, buoys, aids and hazards to navigation, reefs, rocks and islands. Notes on lighthouses, tides, soundings, magnetic variation, and sailing directions are given. The chart shows from Sandy Hook, Baritan Bay, and Staten Island in the southwest up to Westchester and parts of the Hudson River in the northeast.

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.
