Description

1853 Antique Nautical Chart Timballier Bay Louisiana, US Coast Survey
Chart showing Grand Pass, the Entrance to Timballier Bay, Louisiana. This chart details the channel and entrance from the Gulf of Mexico into Timballier (Timbalier) Bay between Timballier Island and East Timballier Island. The chart shows bathymetry by depth soundings, shading and some isolines along with ranges and bearings, and aids and hazards to navigation. Sailing directions, tidal information and notes are also given. 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.
