DESCRIPTION

A very nice nautical chart of Port Royal Entrance and Beaufort Harbor, South Carolina. The chart includes numerous soundings, bottom designations, aids and hazards to navigation, notes, tidal information, and compass rose. Hilton Head and St. Michael's Head are shown. 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.
