The 1st ed. was 1815, this being the 2nd "Improved" ed. according to the detailed catalog of Blunt and Hooker's charts and books on the verso. Blunt charts as early as 1820 are scarce. There may have been an additional "wing" sheet attached to the bottom sheet and showing the Bahama Banks, but not present in Rumsey Collection copy. Relief shown by hachures; depths by soundings. Printed on 6 sheets; Rumsey Collection copy mounted as 1 sheet, and has pencil annotations.
