1884 The Caribbean Islands, & c.

This large format sea chart depicts the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean. Hobbs took great care to provide a chart that would help seagoing vessels to safely ply the waters of the Caribbean and to locate ports in which they might harbor. The chart notes depth soundings in fathoms and describes geographical and nautical features according to a legend in the upper right quadrant of the map. Included within the map are the present day islands of St. Croix, Dominica, Martinique, the Virgin Islands, Saint Lucia, Barbados, Saint Vincent, Grenadines, Martinique Grenada, Tobago, Trinidad to name a few.
