The St. Lawrence (1776)



The St. Lawrence River was a vital artery for the colonial powers, and for this reason, Bellin, d’Anville, Cook and others published attractive charts of it. This particular chart was first published in 1757 by Thomas Jeffrys. In 1776 was reprinted in London R. Sayer and J. Bennett. In addition to the main chart, there are insets (small charts) of good ports and basins along the river.
