This is a late edition of the Purdy’s New Chart of the Atlantic Ocean which was first published in 1812. This chart soon gained fame and went through many editions as it managed to compile an enormous amount of cartographic material into a single overview encompassing three sheets. Purdy himself did not conduct hydrographic expeditions, but relied on the work of others or as the title reads 'the most eminent navigators, British and Foreign'. This map of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean also contains four insert maps. It delivers an enormous amount of data on soundings, coordinates, logs and ports and also features coastal profiles.

North is up.
