This rare chart covers from Florida and the Gulf Coast region through Central American and the northern part of South America. It provides a very detailed view of the Bahamas and West Indies with soundings, shoals and anchorages noted. We located the map in a few public institutional collections but cannot find catalog or auction records for it.
