DESCRIPTION

A nice chart of Charleston Bar and the changes of the bottom over a 5 year period from 1850 to 1855. Numerous depth soundings and notes describe the changes. The chart also shows the range to the Charleston Harbor lighthouse and a channel buoy.

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.
