Two inset charts continue provide additional coverage on either side of the Tyne River: one of the coast near Sunderland and the other of Blyth Harbor.

With a large dedicatory cartouche to Trinity House. Trinity House, founded under royal charter in 1514 had three primary functions: maintenance of lighthouses and other aids to navigation, pilotage authority for more than 40 ports, and was a charitable organization for mariners.
