Map of Santa Cruz Bay

Title Leupe: Plan van de St. Cruz Bay.

This map of Sint Kruis Bay was either originally part of Captain Cornelis Schrijver’s 1738 report about the defence of Curaçao, or a copy version of it. Schrijver's projected strongholds are always projected in the same way, in the form of a tower fort with an octagonal ground plan. It is not always clear whether an actual proposal for the design is given or just a schematic reproduction.

Also see VEL628A, another copy of this same map.

Soundings and relief are indicated.
