Holy=Island Fairn=Islands With The Many Rocks & Hazards ...
|
An attractive chart extending from Sunderland northwards to St Abbs Head and showing 'Barwick', Holy Island and 'Fairn' Island with sounding depths and sailing guidelines - including depictions of the surrounding sandbanks and "the many Rocks & Hazards that Scattered in that Sea". The map is dedicated to the Right Honourable Patrick Lord Polwart, Lord High Chancellor of Scotland until 1702, whose arms and motto, "True to the End", appear above the dedication. This map is one of five charts published of the east coast of Scotland for "Description Of The Sea Coast Of Scotland" before Adair abandoned his plans. There is minor restoration to the centrefold and to negligible marginal tears, otherwise a good fresh printing of a rare and important chart.
