Note Rare separately issued chart of the North Atlantic, focusing on the prevailing currents and winds (including scientific data relating the the Gulf Stream), as observed and compiled by Matthew Fontaine Maury, then serving as Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. 3rd. Edition, Sheet No.1, Series A. , part of 8 sheet series. The sheet covers Florida, the Gulf Coast, the southeastern United States and the Caribbean, with the track of the Gulf Stream clearly visible. The chart presents data from the logs of dozens of voyages by naval and commercial vessels, each of whose vessel names, tracks, and dates are given (Among these are the track of the USS Brandywine in 1829, during which Maury was aboard as a midshipman.) Using an ingenious set of symbols for winds (small brushes), currents (arrows), water temperatures (simple numerals), and adding color coding for the seasons, Maury was able to present an enormous volume of data in a small area. Prime meridian is Greenwich. Includes note. Johnston, A. Keith Chart of the World Show... 1852 Physical Atlas   Author Johnston, A. Keith Ewald, Ludwig 1813-1881... No. 38.
