DESCRIPTION

I nice large-scale chart of the shoals at Cape Lookout, North Carolina. The chart shows numerous soundings, aids, and hazards to navigation, buoys, sailing directions, lighthouse, tides, and soundings notes.

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.
