Carte Particuliere de la Cote Sud-Ouest d'Amerique. Partie comprise entre les Evangelistas a l'entrée du Detroit de Magellen et le Golfe de Penas. Levee de 1828 a 1830. Par le Capitaine P.P. King de la Marine Royale Anglaise.

DESCRIPTION: Large mid-nineteenth century antique nautical chart from the French Depot de la Marine. This antique chart is made more interesting by the display of extensive topographical relief details of the coastal margins. Detailed coverage of the Southwest coast of Patagonia (Chile) from the Western approach to the Strait of Magellan (near the Evangelistas group of islands) north to the Gulf of Penas. An inside route is shown that would have permitted 19th century navigators to bypass at least some of the lower Pacific. Features include Mont Burney, insets of Hevre de l"isle and Anse Colombine; numerous islands, archipelagos, and straits.

Corrected version from 1872 of a chart first published in 1851. No. 1307. With circular stamp of Depot General de la Marine.
