B/W. 16X23. This curious chart of Casco Bay on the Maine coast was drawn by Captain Cyprian Southack in the late 17th, early 18th century and reissued by Antoine Sartine for the French Navy in 1779.

To an experienced Maine seaman, this chart of Casco Bay is highly inaccurate, showing the islands off Portland Harbor (Falmouth) depicted in somewhat strange and speculative shapes. The topography of the coastline from Portland to Small Point is also speculative with points, rivers and offshore islands placed in incorrect juxtaposition. The chart includes a dotted line course with depth soundings called Channel Way entering the Bay at Cape Elizabeth and circumnavigating around the islands and exiting at Small Point.
