Preliminary Chart of Gloucester Harbor Massachusetts
DESCRIPTION
Chart of Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts from Kettle Cove to Brace's Cove. Shows great inland detail of farmland, roads, vegetation, buildings, towns, settlements, piers, etc. Depth soundings, shoals, bottom conditions, lighthouses, aids and hazards to navigation are shown for the harbor and approaches. Extensive details of various bays, islands, rocks, inlets, rivers, creeks and ponds. Sailing directions, dangers, notes and tidal information are also 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.
