Description

Finely crafted map of Jamaica, published in London by Carrington Bowles.

The map provides a remarkably detailed, locating towns, churches, forts, sugar works, gentlemen's seats, taverns, crawls, roads, parishes, barracks and other details.  In addition to sugar works, the map locates "Pens Ginger Coffee & Indigo Settlements."  Along the coastline there are a few soundings, safe anchorages and navigational hazards noted.

A large inset provides a plan of Port Royal that shows the infamous pirate stronghold both before and after the earthquake that destroyed much of the town in 1692.

Harbors of Jamaica

This detailed sheet, titled Harbors of Jamaica, was originally published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1882, with corrections extending to 1897. It compiles a series of nine harbor plans onto a single plate, offering a valuable and systematic hydrographic survey of key coastal points around Jamaica during the late 19th century. The chart  notes that its information is derived chiefly from surveys conducted by officers of the Royal Navy, specifically Commander Parsons, R.N., and others.
