Description
This is a scarce separately issued 1877 George Eldridge nautical chart or maritime map of Buzzard s Bay, Massachusetts. This elegantly produced chart on thick stock depicts from the west coast of Cape Cod and includes New Bedford, Falmouth, Sippican, Wareham, Woods Hole, and Mattapoisett, among other towns. Eldridge provides excellent maritime detail throughout with numerous soundings (in feet) and notations for undersea ledges, shoals, and other dangers. Cartographically this chart is based on the work of the U.S. Coast Survey (U.S.C.S.) as well as Eldridge s own private surveys.
