Genuine Antique Nautical Chart

1832

Maker: Alex S. Wadsworth

Rare early chart of Narragansett Bay, engraved by W.J. Stone, published c. 1832. This chart is the result of the first systematic survey of Narragansett Bay in the 19th century and is far more detailed than earlier surveys and charts. On the chart are the towns of Newport, Bristol and Wickford. It includes navigational information such as soundings, hazards and lighthouses with additional detail of topography, islands, beaches, vegetation, marshes, ferry landings, and more. This chart has been archivally restored- cleaned, deacidified, backed on linen, with any missing areas filled in. It could be framed or hung on rods. Very good restored condition with some signs of age. Measures approx. 52.5 x 41 inches to the inner neatline. Overall size is approx. 56 x 44 inches.
