Attractive map of Casco Bay, near modern day Portland, Maine showing the islands offshore, compass point, rhumb lines, depth soundings. Title cartouche at lower right. Captain Southick was born in London, died in Boston, and engraved the first copperplate in the United States.
Very good condition. There are a few small wormholes, most on the margins but a few affecting the upper part of the map.
