This sheet includes four detailed charts of harbor towns on the Atlantic that played a role in the War of Jenkins' Ear and the wider War of Austrian Succession: Louisbourg, Nova Scotia; Havana, Cuba; Cartagena, Colombia; and Portobelo, Panama. The Louisbourg chart shows several fortifications with notes on the various batteries and the fishing industry of the region. A key on the Havana map identifies twenty places of interest, most of them religious in nature. Prominently featured on the chart of Cartagena is the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, the most elaborate of all the fortresses built by the Spanish in their colonies. There are two castles on the chart of Portobelo. All four charts include a distance scale and a compass rose capped with a fleur-de-lis, and soundings appear on all but the Louisbourg chart.
