This rare and early engraved nautical chart was found in a sailor's ditty bag bought at a South Shore Estate sale. Published in 1878 by the British Admirality, and produced by the British Hydrographic Office, it is in good shape considering it's age, and that it was a working chart ( although t are no ink/lead markings). As you can see in the photos ( please email me if you require additional, or higher resolution images) t is a 2 inch rip along the centre of the right hand edge. Additionally t are small tears and flea bites in spots around the outside edge. T is some staining/foxing as is again evident in the photos, but none really detract from the main body of the chart itself, most are outside the central image along the border.Water depths and sand bars are all carefully recorded as are all coastal lighthouse ( highlighted in colour). Of particular interest are the 5 panaramic images along the bottom of the chart showing various local landmarks, including Hotel on Long Island, Hardings ledge, Derr Island Beacon, Bunker Hill Monument, Nicks Mate and more. Chart measures 39 inches wide by 27 inches tall.We will gladly ship worlwide, with shipping charges the sole responsability of the high bidder,the final cost of which are dependent on the purchasers location and choice of shipment method.
