NOTE: COLORS MAY NOT BE ACCURATE DUE TO MY CAMERA. COLORS ARE ALL VIBRANT AND NOT FADED. GETTING READY TO MOVE TO CALIFORNIA THIS FALL, SO EVERYTHING MUST GO! KEEP WATCHING FOR SOME REAL BARGAINS! THIS IS PART OF A RELATIVE'S ESTATE. IT IS AN OLD NAVY DEPARTMENT HYDROGRAPHIC OCEAN MAP TITLED THURSDAY ISLAND HARBOR, AUSTRALIA - SOUTH COAST, TORRES STRAIT. IT MEASURES ABOUT 28-1/2 INCHES WIDE BY 23 INCHES HIGH AND IS PRESENTLY FOLDED IN HALF. AT THE TOP IT READS "HYDROGRAPHIC OFFICE U.S. NAVY ." AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHART IT READS "WASHINGTON D.C. PUBLISHED AUG. 1914, AT THE HYDROGRAPHIC OFFICE, UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. NEW PUBLICATION: 3D ED., FEB. 1925. 4TH EDITION, JULY 1929." Chart No. 3471. T IS A NAVY DEPARTMENT PURPLE RUBBER STAMP DENOTING "CORRECTED THROUGH NOTICE TO MARINERS NO. 39 SEP 24 '41, HYDROGRAPHIC OFFICE NAVY DEPARTMENT." PRICE 20 CENTS. THIS LARGE MAP SHOWS WATER SOUNDINGS (DEPTHS?) IN METERS AND FEET FOR THE SURROUNDING WATERS, WHICH INCLUDE NORMANBY SOUND, FRIDAY PASSAGE, ELLIS CHANNEL, AND APLIN PASS. T ARE ALSO MANY LAND AREAS, INCLUDING SEVERAL ISLANDS, THAT ARE SURROUNDED BY THESE WATER WAYS, INCLUDING HORN ISLAND * THURSDAY ISLAND * HAMMON ISLAND * PRINCE OF WALES ISLAND * AND SMALLER AREAS. T IS A CHART OF TIDAL INFORMATION, CONVERSION TABLES (FROM FEET TO METERS), AND ASSORTED DENOTATIONS OF LANDMARKS ("QUARANTINE STATION * ROSE HILL * RED HOUSE * WHITE BEACON * FLAGSTAFF HOSPITAL * HOUSE (wh & red stripes) * LOW SWAMPY LAND INTERSECTED BY CREEKS AND FRINGED WITH MANGROVES" AND MANY MORE MARKINGS. T IS A LOT MORE INFORMATION ON THIS MAP BUT IT IS SO LARGE AND EXTENSIVE THAT IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER TO TYPE. ON THE BACK BLANK SIDE OF THE MAP, PENCILLED LARGELY IS "SOUTH PACIFIC ~ ATORRES STRAIT, THURSDAY ISLAND HARBOR ~ CONSEC 1740 ~ HO CHART NO 3471 ." THE MAP ORIGINATED BEFORE WORLD WAR II, BUT IT APPEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE VITAL INFORMATION FOR SHIPS AND SUBMARINES, SINCE IT DEALS WITH WATER DEPTHS AND LANDMARKS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS USED FOR. THIS MAP IS BLACK & WHITE WITH LAND MASSES IN A TAN/YELLOW COLOR, AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION FOR ITS AGE, WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS, AND JUST MINOR EDGE/CORNER WEAR. IT HAS NOT BEEN HUNG. A GREAT PIECE OF OLD HISTORY. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHERS THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THEM. THEY ARE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES AND OTHER WATERWAYS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL YOUR REQUEST PRIOR TO BIDDING AND INCLUDE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL PHOTOS. BUYER TO PAY WITHIN 7 DAYS BY PAYPAL or POST OFFICE MONEY ORDER ONLY. SHIPPING IS $9.50 BY USPS PARCEL POST MAIL. I COMBINE SHIPPING ON ALL OF MY AUCTIONS, WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SO CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS.
