Highly informative promotional map, published by the Castle Shipping Line of London.

The map focuses on transportation routes to the Gold Fields, which are concentrated in the Souh African Republic (Transvaal), with more than a dozen gold mining regions located.

A list of the ships in the Castle Line Fleet are shown at the left, with ports of call at the right.

The map is highly detailed, noting the location of such commodities as:

  • Gold
  • Copper
  • Diamonds
  • Silver
  • Coffee
  • Lead
  • Cattle
  • Sheep
  • Mohair
  • Wool
  • Salt
  • Coal
  • Tea
  • Tobacco
  • Wheat
  • Sugar
  • Horses
  • Ostrich

The Castle Line published several maps of South Africa, this one seemingly is unrecorded.
