MILFORD HAVEN.

Chart of Milford Haven from the sea to Haverfordwest. Ships at sea and in the sound, soundings, rhumblines, large dedicatory cartouche to Henry, Duke of Beaufort at top left, at lower right scale in smaller but elaborate cartouche. 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

Wormhole on tile, expert repairs to margins, binding holes at centrefold. Very good condition
