DESCRIPTION

A very nice nautical chart of a portion of the Savannah River, Georgia, from the entrance to the head of Argyle Island. The chart includes numerous soundings, bottom designations, aids and hazards to navigation, anchorages, lighthouse information, notes, tidal and current information, and compass rose. The city of Savannah is shown with great detail. This chart does not appear in some editions of the 1855 Reports.

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.
