Note:
This is a roughly made manuscript map copying a published lithography in London by the Hydrographic Office of the Admiralty. The main chart of the map depicts in detail the Pearl River from Humen (Boca Tigris) to Guangzhou (Canton), path used by the British to reach Guangzhou for trade. Along the river a large amount of soundings is given and even on some of its tributaries. On the inset it is shown the same route but extended from Hong Kong and Macao to Guangzhou. The route west of Macao is also given but only with soundings at the mouth, for these was an exclusive route for the Portuguese that the English did not have access to.
