Historic Map : U.S. Coast Survey Nautical Map of Naragansett Bay, Rhode Island, 1915, Vintage Wall Art

An uncommon 1915 U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey nautical chart or maritime map of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. The chart covers from Cuttyhunk to Block Island, including all of Narragansett Bay. The map is primarily coastal, but offers incredible detail throughout with topography extending several miles inland. Providence and Newport are rendered in exceptional detail with individual streets apparent. There are countless depth soundings throughout with lighthouses, bells, and light boats highlighted. This chart was first issued in 1913 and has here been updated under the supervision O. H. Tittmann to 1915. Unlike many Coast Survey charts, the present map is an independent issue and a working maritime chart.
