DESCRIPTION

A striking and scarce chart of Mississippi Sound, and the approaches to the sound. Great detail is given by numerous soundings, aids, and hazards to navigation, channels, buoys, shoals, lighthouses, reefs, and bearings. Notes on tides, lighthouses, winds, soundings and detailed sailing directions are given. Terrestrial detail shows vegetation, some farms, streams, and piers. A very 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.
