Sea chart of south western Cornish coast. Map of Mounts Bay in inset with inset view below of approach to Fowey. Illustrated cartouche at upper right. Rhumb lines, soundings. 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

Two tiny binding holes on centrefold. Expert repairs to margins. Very good condition.
