Chart of Falmouth Bay and the estuary as far as Truro, with many soundings. Inset map of Helford Sound, and inset views of approach to Falmouth and Helford. Large illustrated cartouche at top left. 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. The charts are notable for both their accuracy and their charm
