Maker: USCS.
Antique uncoloured nautical chart showing part of Cape Cod and Nantucket, Massachusetts, by US Coast Survey. Areas included are the south side of the Cape from Lewis Bay and Hyannis to Chatham, as well as Nantucket. Shows "North Beach" inlet across from Minister's Point and buildings at Powder Hole. Wychmere Harbor is not connected to Nantucket Sound. The chart says that it was made in 1860, however, this chart is a restrike. Restrikes are later prints made using the original printing plates, which means that they are a more authentic “reproduction" than any other type. This restrike was probably made in the early to mid- 20th century. Good overall condition with some scattered brown spots and wrinkling. Approx. 37.5 x 27 inches to the neatline.
