Superb, large-scale chart of the small islands lying to the north of Cuba and Hispaniola including the southern tip of Long Island, Acklins Island, Mayaguana Island, Great Inagua Island and the Turks & Caicos Islands. The chart also provides excellent detail of the northern coastline of Hispaniola and the eastern tip of Cuba. The chart is beautifully engraved with a fine title cartouche and rhumb lines.
