Carte De L'Isle De Sainte Lucie ...

Carte De L'Isle De Sainte Lucie ...

click to enlarge

A magnificent, large chart of St. Lucia from Bellin's "Hydrographie Francoise". North is oriented to the left of the page and the island is shown traversed by the "Chemin de la Longue Chasse" and is filled with wooded areas and mountainous terrain - all depicted pictorially. The settled areas are situated, for the most part, close to the coast and suitable harbours are marked. A detailed inset plan at the top of the map show the "Port du Carenage", the "Cul De Sac Des Roseaux" and the "Mouillages du Grand Islet et du Choc" - each includes numerous sounding depths insuring safe passage. The title cartouche in the lower left corner is contained within an impressive, garlanded surround and also includes the mileage scale. A very attractive map - the largest of the island to date.
