DESCRIPTION
Chart of Entrance to St. John's River, Florida. This chart has very nice inland detail of Fort George Island, Batton Island, Talbot Island, Long Island, Pilot Houses, Mayport Mills and Gibbs House, buildings and vegetation. Detailed bathymetry is shown by numerous depth soundings, shading, aids and hazards to navigation, buoys, breakers, channels, ranges, bearings, etc. Sailing instructions, tidal and other notes given.
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.
