DescriptionA chart of the coast of America from New found Land to Cape Cod (2675728104).jpg |
Zoom into this map at maps.bpl.org. Author: Seller, John Publisher: s.n. Date: [1675] Location: Atlantic Provinces Scale: Scale [ca. 1:15,800,000] Call Number: G3410 1675.S45 Published in Sellers Atlas Maritimus, the earliest general marine atlas produced in England, this was the first English chart of New England waters. It clearly shows the northern navigation routes with soundings, as well as the islands and lucrative fishing banks off the coasts of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Boston and Charlestown are also located and named. While the Atlas Maritimus was Sellers first attempt at breaking the Dutch monopoly on the publication of nautical atlases, he is also credited with the inception of The English Pilot, the standard guide for English navigators throughout the 18th century. |
