Sobre este artículo
London: James Imray & Son (89 & 102 Minories), 1876. Enormous rolled blue-back chart from this prominent publisher. This is oriented more west to east, given the configuration of the Irish Channel (St. George's Channel). As always, loaded with detail. Generally very good, with 1 small tear mid channel, not seriously affecting image. Details include elaborate depth soundings throughout, the 'Lights on Coast of Scotland' and a detail list of bearings. Insets include the Firth of Clyde, Belfast Lough, Douglas Bay, North Rocks & c., Carlingford Lough, Lough Foyle, South Coast of Man (complete island on map image), Milford Haven, Lundy Island, Tuskar Bocks & c. , Holyhead Bay. Belfast Bay is part of the main map region. This chart measures 74x40 inches. Imray's firm was a descendent of that of John Hamilton Moore. Imray produced charts on a smaller scale than the admiralty charts, and apparently fishermen and yachtsmen found these "Bluebacks" more convenient for a number of reasons (needed fewer charts than with the Admiralty charts). See Robinson's "Marine Cartography in Britain" and Fisher's "The Makers of the Blueback Charts.".
