This large-scale sea chart details the Gulf Coast with plenty of soundings. It shows Cat, Ship, and Horn islands. A lighthouse is depicted on Cat Island. The map notes where the British fleet anchored in 1815 in the waning days of the War of 1812. Mississippi City and Biloxi appear in plan form. There is a tide register at Ship Island at bottom, and views of approaches to Cat and Ship islands are shown at top left. The map was reduced from an original chart by L.M. Powell by L.W. DuBois.
