USCS Coast Survey Antique Nautical Chart Winter Harbor Maine Original Color 1867
This is a striking, interesting and very uncommon U.S. Coast Survey chart of Winter Harbor Maine showing numerous soundings, aids and hazards to navigation, points, rocks, islands, lighthouses, bearings, and headings along with notes on tides, soundings, and elevations. Depicted are the features of the eastern shore of Frenchman's Bay and Winter Harbor Sound from Jordan's Island, and Iron Bound Island, to Grindstone Neck, Winter Harbor Sound and the town of Winter Harbor and on to Turtle Isand and south to Schoodac Point.There are precious few charts made by the Coast Survey that are orignialy printed in color on higher quality paper. This unusual chart is one of the earliest attemtps at chromolithographic printing.IMPORTANT NOTE:All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
