Description

Coast Survey Chart Galveston Bay Proposed Sites for Lighthouses, Texas 1852
Chart of Galveston Bay Indicating Proposed Sites for Light Houses. This is the first edition of the US Coast Survey's Charting of Galveston Bay, published in 1851. Great detail of West Bay, Galveston Bay, and East Bay shown including Galveston Island, Galveston, Bolivar Peninsula, and Turtle Bay. Inset maps of Clopper's Bar and Red Fish Bar are included. Many depth soundings, reefs, wrecks, and other details are noted. Some sailing directions and notes are shown as well. 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. NOTE: eBay Buyer's Premium only charged on eBay.
