Note:
Hydrographic map of the Typa harbor showing depth by soundings. The map has a developed note on the right bottom corner that explains the depth of the water in different times of the year and of the day. It also clarifies the places prone to stranding. The English up to 1700 tried to establish direct trade with China, but without any success. This particular map was made at a time when the English trade started to really develop in China and Macao so charts like these were essential for a safe navigation trough the known low waters of Macao.
