[Carlingford Lough]

A handsome chart of Carlingford Lough on Ireland’s east coast. Embellished with decorative title cartouche and compass rose. Two views, above and below map show views of the land from the sea. Captain Greenvile Collins was an outstanding naval officer who became ‘Hydrographer to the King’ before the Coasting Pilot was published. The Coasting Pilot was the result of the first systematic survey of British coastal waters. It took eight years to complete, and was used by the British Navy for many years. The charts are notable for both their accuracy and their charm.
