This scarce harbor chart by Robert Sayer was published in 1789 and shows the navigational channel to Rye harbor marked by beacons as well as numerous soundings at high and low water. Noted features include Winchelsea Castle, Stoney Beach, the East Bar, Wenneway River, Camber Point, Guildford Gut, Black Shore, and a single windmill between Rye and Playden. <br></br> Sayer borrowed heavily from a chart published earlier by Greenville Collins. Two obvious differences are that the Romney Marsh in Collin's chart is here labeled 'Walland Marsh' and in this chart the town called Playdon is called 'Socket' on Collins'. Sayer's chart carries this additional note not found on Collin's chart: "A flag by day & a light by night are hoisted on the west pier-head of the new harbour of Rye, whenever there are nine feet water at the mouth of the harbour." <br></br> With a colorful compass rose. Published by Robert Sayer, Map and Chart-seller. 53 Fleet Street, London in "The Channel Pilot". Number 8 stamped in upper right corner.

Diego Garcia, a coral atoll, is the largest and southernmost member of the Chagos Archipelago, in the central Indian Ocean. <br/><br/> Dated on or near May 2, 1809 when the French Governor of Mauritius Decaen granted rights over the island to Cayeux, the Didier brothers, and Lapotaire. Lapotaire was reported to have over 100 slaves working his copra plantation in 1809. The map clearly shows those three land holdings, with Didier at the southern end of the island. (Cawley, Charles. Colonies in Conflict: The History of the British Overseas Territories. Cambridge Scholars Publishing. 2015.) <br/></br/> "Portuguese explorers discovered Diego Garcia in the early 1500s. The islands remained uninhabited until the 18th century when the French established coconut and copra plantations with the help of slave labor. Diego Garcia became a possession of the United Kingdom after the Napoleonic wars, and from 1814 to 1965, it was a dependency of Mauritius." (Source: https://www.cs.mcgill.ca)
