DESCRIPTION

A very nice nautical chart of a portion of the Romerly Marshes at Wilmington RIver, Georgia. The chart includes numerous soundings, bottom designations, hazards to navigation, notes, tidal information, and compass rose. 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.
