1853 Preliminary Chart of Ship Island Shoal Louisiana, Nautical Chart
Chart of Ship Island Shoal and Isle Derniere. Gives nice details and navigational aid past Isle Derniere (Ast Island) and around to Caillon Bay. Shows Ast Station, Village Harbor and the Hotel there. Extensive depths soundings, isolines and bottom conditions along with sailing directions, tidal information and notes on shoals and lighthouses. 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.
