DESCRIPTION

Chart of Mare Island Straits, California showing part of the San Francisco Bay area including Mare Island, Bay of San Pablo, Straits of Karquines and Vallejo which served as the capital of the state of California in 1852 and 1853, shown as ‘Seat of the Government of California’. Depth soundings, bathymetry, rocks and bottom features along with notes important to the mariner are included. This later edition includes greater inland detail of the U.S. Navy Yare, City of Vallejo, and topographic features.

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.
