DEPOT DES CARTES ET PLANS DE LA MARINE : Iles du Cap Verd Porto Praya (Ile Santiago)

305 x 470 mm., in very good condition.

A fine large scale plan of the harbour of ‘Porto Praya’ (Praia) on Santiago, the capital of the Cape Verde Islands. It is situated on the south coast and shows wonderfully how the town has grown; the whole area to the south and west of the town is now developed. A prospect of the approach is shown above. The roads and individual buildings are shown, as are numerous soundings in the Bay. The original survey in 1834 is the work of Lieutenant William Arlett of the British Royal Navy who is duly credited in the title.
