[AUSTRALIA-SA] Guichen Bay to Glenelg River ……

Description

Early issue of this scarce Hydrographic chart of the South Australian coast, extending from Robe to the Glenelg River. First issued 15th May, 1872, this chart with corrections only to August 1873.

C.19th charts issued by the British Hydrographic Office were continually updated and as a consequence seafarers, merchants and pilots discarded earlier versions, making these charts, rare survivors. The Hydrographic Office first offered it’s chart for sale to the general public through a series of chart agents in 1821.
