Description
This heavily soiled nautical chart of the North Atlantic Ocean was published by the United States Navy Hydrographic Office in 1942, with updates made through August of the following year according to a table in the lower left corner. It presents the Atlantic Coast north of Savannah, Georgia, Hudson’s Bay, and the southern tip of Greenland. Depth soundings are marked throughout and purple dots denote the location of navigational beacons and lights. During World War II, there were over 100 ships sunk across the vast region.
