WAUGOSHANCE PT TO SEUL CHOIX PT

Waugoshance Pt to Seul Choix Pt (1979), Nautical Chart, scale 80000.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A printed nautical chart fills the image, showing pale blue water, yellow-green shorelines, depth soundings, navigation markers, grid lines, and several compass roses. Three inset harbor plans appear along the upper left, while blocks of explanatory text and tables occupy 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.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small labels, depth figures, and fine-print notes are not legible at this viewing size.

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.
