Preliminary Chart of Lower Part of Cape Fear River North Carolina
DESCRIPTION
Chart of Entrances to Cape Fear River and New Inlet, North Carolina. Charting extends from Federal Point south to Cape Fear and then west past Smithville and Fort Caswell to Oak Island. This chart details the main channels of navigation along with bathymetry shown by shading and numersous depth soundings, aids and hazards to navigation. There is a good amounbt of inland detail along the coast line including nice detail of the town of Smithville. Sailing instructions, tidal information and notes are given in detail also.
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.
