Unique guide map of Funchal and the southern coast of
Madeira. Combines panoramic views, navigational text, and anchorage guidance
for maritime use.




The upper portion of the map shows a panoramic vignette
of the city of Funchal on the south coast of Madeira, extending from Ponta de
Cruz to the Brazen Head, with ships foregrounded on the coastal
waters. Below this, at centre left, is a block of text containing meteorological remarks, maritime analysis, and
practical naval guidance for vessels navigating the coast or anchoring off the
city.




The lower section shows an oblique aerial view of the
coastal road between Ponta de Cruz and St Iago Church in Funchal. The coastline
is illustrated with Pico da Cruz and smaller vignettes of landmarks including
Forte de Ilheo and Penha de França Chapel. Additional inland landmarks - Peak
Castle, Bachelors Hall, and Nossa Senhora do Monte - are depicted without any surrounding geographic or topographic detail, presenting a rather unique cartographical decision.




In the coastal waters below the road, rhumb lines radiate
from a compass rose positioned at the centre of the lower
border. Numbered anchorage points indicate favourable and unfavourable holding
ground, annotated with descriptions such as “dark sand and sharp burnt stones”
and “mud and sand with small stones.”




The lower right contains a further text panel that expands
upon each numbered anchorage, detailing bearings to prominent shore features,
and concludes with general observations on anchoring practice.

Uncoloured. (SL) [AFR3070]
