DESCRIPTION

A striking U.S. Coast Survey chart showing numerous soundings, aids and hazards to navigation, points, rocks, islands, lighthouses, bearings, and headings along with notes on tides and soundings. Depicted are the Wilmington, Vernon, and Tybee Rivers, Wassaw Island, Skiddaway Island, Wilmington Island, Tybee Island, and numerous interior waterways.

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.
