DESCRIPTION

Chart of Trinidad Bay, California. Showing Trinidad Head, and charting Trinidad Bay down to Cape Rock and Sotsin Point (the latter are present-day locations and not called out) and includes details of roads and buildings in Trinidad City. A beautiful elevation profile and view of Trinidad Head and City are also included. Depth soundings, rocks, and bottom conditions are noted throughout including sailing directions and other information important to the mariner.

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.
