Tides, soundings and views of headlands as seen from the sea fill these antique charts from The English Pilot, the working sea atlas associated with Mount and Page at Tower Hill in London, with sheets dated 1747 to 1758. They come from the southern navigation volume, which covered the British and Irish coasts, the Atlantic approaches to the Continent and the routes towards the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic islands. Charts follow the Thames, the Newcastle trade, the Channel, Portugal and Irish waters, Cape Verde and the Azores extend the Atlantic coverage, and there are Mediterranean harbours too.
