DESCRIPTION

Chart of Ship and Sand Shoal Inlets on the coast of Virginia from Little Inlet and Myrtle Island north past Ship Shoal Island, Wreck Island, up to Bone Island and Sand Shoal Island. Bathymetric and navigational details consist of extensive depth soundings, shading, isolines, bottom conditions, channels, aids, and hazards to the mariner and remarks, notes, and directions to the mariner including tidal information.

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.
