Straits of Mackinac with the Approaches Thereto from Lakes Huron and Michigan and the Entrance by the Detour Passage to the St. Mary's River (1906), Nautical Chart, scale 120000.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A wide, sepia-toned nautical chart shows irregular shorelines, numerous islands, depth soundings, navigation lines, compass roses, and scattered notes and tables. A large centered title block and several blocks of printed information occupy the lower portion of the sheet. The chart is divided by fold lines and bordered by coordinate markings.
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.

STRAITS OF MACKINAC WITH THE APPROACHES THERETO FROM LAKES HURON AND MICHIGAN AND THE ENTRANCE BY THE DETOUR PASSAGE TO THE ST. MARY'S RIVER
Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
Catalogued as a 1906 nautical chart held by the NOAA Office of Coast Survey, Historical Map & Chart Collection. The recorded scale is 1:120,000; the catalogue title names the mapped waterways and passages. The chart is recorded as public domain.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Many small geographic labels, soundings, notes, and the full text of the title block are too small to read reliably.

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.
