Genuine Antique Nautical Chart
1856
Maker: U.S. Coast Survey.
Antique coast chart of Charleston, SC published by the US Coast Survey in 1856. Shows some topography along the coast, the city streets, and water depths. Includes the City of Charleston, Hog, Drum, Folly, James, and Sullivan Islands, surrounding channels, two recognition profiles at the bottom, and text with sailing directions, buoy and beacon information, and tide and current charts. Measures approx. 30 1/4"h x 32"w to the neatline. Very good restored condition. This chart has been archivally cleaned and backed with light-weight paper. It retains some minor signs of age including slight toning along the folds (these were flattened during restoration), some wrinkles, and some waviness of the paper. Could be hand-colored by our professional colorist for an additional cost.
