Boston Harbour Chart

SOLD

Boston Harbour, from the survey of A.S. Wadsworth, Esq., U.S.N. and the chart of Des Barres

DESCRIPTION: SOLD

Small, clean, nautical chart of Boston Harbor, Massachusetts from the 1850 edition of the "American Coast Pilot" 16th Edition. Numerous soundings, marked aids-to-navigation, and anchorages would have made this a useful tool for navigators attempting to navigate in the area, one of the few mass-produced, affordable charts of the area that were available at that time.

The American Coast Pilot with other harbor charts, was published by Edmund and George W. Blunt from New York. The Blunts were the most prolific private publisher of navigational charts in the United States at that time. The chart is based on earlier surveys by A.S. Wadsworth around 1818 and of Joseph Frederick Wallet Des Barres (1721-1824) during the American Revolutionary War.
