DESCRIPTION: Rare harbor chart of Cartagena, Colombia. North is oriented to the right. Numerous soundings and hazards are marked. Plate Number 19.

Because of Spain's secrecy about its New World territories this chart represents the earliest easily available cartographic record of this area from Spanish sources.
