EDDYSTONE ROCKS: 'Augmented scale of soundings between the meridians of the Lizard and that of ye Start shewing the impossibility of getting upon or near the Eddystone whilst the depth of water continues above forty-two fas'; circa 1800. No cartographer named. No scale bar or compass rose, but comparison with O.S. sheet nos. 352-356 and 359 (1" to the mile) shows that the chart is oriented with North at the top. Eddystone Rocks have been fixed by angles from the Mewstone and Rame Head and many of the soundings indicate the bearings and angles from which they were fixed. The forty-two fathom level is marked and labelled, as is the area of shallower water immediately around the rocks themselves. There is a latitude and longitude scale, and tidal streams, soundings, variation, leading and clearing lines and buoys are marked. Key to the leading marks in upper left hand corner. Purchased from Susanna Fisher, Cat. 60, item 22, June 1988.
Ink and watercolours on paper. 437 x 564mm.
