Note:
|
Even though this chart was made to serve as a navigational aid, the depicted area is very incomplete and several places remain uncertain. The coastline of the mainland and islands are also incomplete, leaving many blank spaces open to speculation. Some place names are given both on the map and on the two legends on each side of the map and some soundings provide the water depth between the depicted islands.
