This handsome chart shows the Labrador coast from Cape Bluff south to the North Entrance of the Straights of Bell Isle. It depicts numerous harbors, bays and inlets with soundings and navigational hazards along the coastline. Two inset charts in lower left show Petty Harbour and the three harbors of Sophia, Charlotte and Mecklenburg. A large compass rose and rhumb lines orient the chart. This coastline was surveyed by Joseph Gilbert in 1767. Published by Sayer and Bennett.
