Additional Details

A fine chart by nineteenth-century America's leading commercial chart-maker. Despite the suggestion of the title, the chart only extends from New York City to Cape Hatteras. Originally published in 1827, this edition includes the latest information and improvements to the coastline, especially along the Jersey Shore and Delaware Bay. Several further editions were issued into the 1850's.
