Seldom seen chart detailing Catalina Harbor and part of the island. The harbor is filled information including soundings given in feet and the bottom type in several areas. At bottom is a well rendered and finely engraved sea-view elevation of the approach to the harbor with two sailing ships at anchor in the distance. The notes include sailing instructions. Compass rose gives the magnetic variation.
