This large and rare Spanish chart covers eastern Cuba, northwest Hispaniola, and the lower Bahamas including Turks and Caicos. There is good detail of navigational hazards, soundings, and many place names along the coastlines. Crisscrossed with rhumb lines, this chart also features a fleur-de-lis, the seal of the Deposito Hidrografico, and very nice lettering in the title.
