DESCRIPTION

A striking and scarce chart of Charleston Harbor, The City of Charleston, and the approaches to the harbor. Great detail is given by numerous soundings, aids and hazards to navigation, channels, buoys, lighthouses, reefs, and bearings. Notes on tides, lighthouses, light vessels, and soundings are given. A nice, albeit low-profile, elevation view of the harbor and distant city is shown at the bottom along with the scale bars. A very desirable chart.
