GENUINE VINTAGE ADMIRALTY CHART OFTHE CHANNELS AND ROAD TO MORLAIX Published 1861Hydrographic charts or Admiralty charts are maps designed as aids to navigation at sea. They are produced by the British Admiralty. The Hydrographic Office, a sub-department of the British Admiralty, was established in 1795 and issued its first officially published Admiralty chart in November 1800. Admiralty charts show navigational hazards such as reefs and wrecks, and navigational aids such as lights, buoys and beacons. Nineteenth-century charts may show coastal elevations and topographic views, useful to identify landfalls and prominent fixing marks. They may also include details of coastal forts and other defenses. Admiralty charts are continually updated and corrected. These corrections were often made by amending the original engraved plate and issuing the chart as a new edition in other cases the chart was completely re-drawn.DESCRIPTION/CONDITION: Chart Number 2744. Published London at the Admiralty 1861. Large corrections to 1880, small corrections to 1909, centre fold as issued. Sold by J. D. Potter, Agent for the Sale of the Admiralty Charts. Large navigation chart on heavy grade paper measuring overall 100cm x 69cm (39" x 27"). Condition: creasing and small edge tears left margin not affecting image area - please refer to images and examine carefully. Thank you. Genuine rare (could not find another of this vintage) admiralty chart with last correction (update) in 1909 - this chart is genuinely over 100 years old and not a recent copy or more recent printing as, you will find, most charts are. As charts were updated (corrected) older versions would be discarded, and it is a wonder that these old editions have survived to this day.
