2nd ed. Fishing Map Upper Tampa Bay

DESCRIPTION: SOLD

Scarce presumed second edition [1] of Rube Allyn's Authentic Fishing Map (ca. 1955), for upper Tampa Bay, Florida. Changes made on the 2nd edition not on the 1st edition include:
  • A "nice beach" and a new (dredged?) channel in Tampa Bay, both in the vicinity of Sky Harbor Airport
  • Several new additions to the Gandy Blvd. west peninsula including two new boat launches and a TV tower.
  • Reclassification of spoil banks as Treasure Island and Lookout Island.
The changes on this second edition are easily identifiable from the different font used to the new / changed items. The newer changes appear to have been made by pasting typewritten location names to the 1st edition master copy before reproduction.

When multiple editions of Allyn's fishing map exist for the same area, as in this case, they may provide a good source information about the effects of development and changes over time to the aquatic environment and to fish populations. Allyn's chart # 1C.
