This rare English sea chart spans from Cap-Vert or Cape Verde south to Sherbro Island. There are several place names lining the coast as well as small islands and rivers. The River Gambie is prominently depicted on the main map, with its entrance shown in even greater detail in an inset at bottom right. Rhumblines, depth soundings, hazards, and shoals fill the water. Interesting inland notations include "Great Couconda or the Portugees Towne" in Guinea and "The High Land of Sawsasu," illustrated with a mountain range to the northwest of the Sierra Leone River. An elaborate compass rose orients the north to the left. The map is adorned with an ornate strapwork title cartouche and a distance scale cartouche, both at top. From a later edition of The English Pilot.
