DESCRIPTION: Antique nautical / harbor charts of Fondeadero de Chouchou (N. coast of Haiti) and Bahia de la Granja, Haiti.
Published in 1809, these two large-scale port/harbor charts are two of 22 charts (on 16 plates) of ports in Haiti, Dominican Republic and Jamaica published by the Spanish Admiralty, the Direccion Hidrografia, in Part IV of the atlas "Portolano de la America Setentrional Construido en la Direccion Detrabajos Hidrograficos". Because of Spain's secrecy about its New World territories these antique harbor charts represent some of the earliest detailed charts of these areas. These small charts do not often appear on the market. Plate Number 5. Scale in cables.
