Geographical Description:
|
Rare specially issued "buoy placement" example of this US Coast Survey chart of Pensacola Harbor, published separately on thick paper.
It appears that the this chart of Pensacola Harbor, originally issued in 1857, was later updated in 1864 to show the buoy placements made by Captain T.A. Jenkins. The chart was never issued in an official Coast Survey report.
The chart provides a detailed look at Pensacola Harbor and environs (extending from The Lagoon, Warrigton and Santa Rosa Island to Pensacola and the United States Live Oak Plantation. The chart also includes detailed navigational notes, tidal notes and sailing directions.
