Description:
|
|
| This Dutch sea chart of Barbados is remarkable for the quality of its detail of the island's interior. Plantations and sugar mills are marked, and there is a small inset of Bridgetown. Nautical hazards are marked and there are depth soundings provided for the approaches to the main harbours. Compass roses and rhumb lines are used to embellish the map. Strong impression. [WIND3233] |
