A wonderful sailing chart with minute detail of the coast and small islands, and little in the interior except for the rivers and lakes. Shows the Straits of Bell Isle and the Labrador coast, illustrating the northern approach to the St. Lawerence River. An attractive chart with rhumb lines, a fleur-de-lys, and numerous sounding in the Gulf waters. Ref: Phillips (A) #1165, 1166, 3695a. Good color, slightly toned with minor offsetting. Lower margin trimmed just into neatline, else very good.
