Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A large printed nautical chart shows broad waterways bordered by yellow land areas and numerous outlined islands. The water is covered with depth figures, contour lines, plotted routes, circular survey markings, and navigation symbols, with explanatory text blocks and diagrams along the margins.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

1975 nautical chart, chart number 14902, edition 20, scale 1:240,000. Catalogued as a NOAA Office of Coast Survey historical nautical chart.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Many small chart labels, depth figures, and marginal notes are too small to transcribe fully.

Rights and credit

Public domain (NOAA Office of Coast Survey)

Credit this to NOAA Office of Coast Survey when you use it.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
