Description
Manuscript plan showing the harbors around Passamaquoddy Bay and the Bay of Fundy. The mouths of the Passamaquoddy and St. Croix rivers are depicted. Areas of safe anchorage are noted as well as known ship tracks. A note under the bar graph reads: "That those parts of this plan where the ships traks sounding are laid down may be safely depended on, but what leghs, rocks, or sundings there may be else I know not."
