Description

1853 Antique Nautical Chart, Lighthouse on Sow and Pigs Reef, US Coast Survey
Chart of the location for the proposed lighthouse on Saddle Rock at Sow and Pigs Reef, located off of Cuttyhunk, near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Chart depicts the site of a proposed lighthouse on Saddle Rock. An inset map shows the Location of the Sow and Pigs Reef relative to Cuttyhunk Island, Vineyard Sound, and Buzzard Bay. Nice elevation views of the rocks at the reef as seen from the North and from the Northwest. Various remarks and notes, latitudes/longitudes and other notations are included throughout the map and inset. IMPORTANT NOTE: All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
