Here is the map at the Library of Congress. You can actually save the map and view it using a free viewer. It will also allow you to save a .jpg that can be printed. I believe you can also order copies!

I take it that this is the map you were looking for. If not, just do a new search and should give you the results you need. There are several there.

Here's a portion of the east coast map from Romans in 1774 (published 7 years later in 1781) including a notation about the 1715 fleet between Sebastian and St. Lucie's Inlet. If you need a specific part of the map, let me know. It's too big to see all at once.

Darren,
Can you post a photo just south, Melbourne, where we are working?
Thanks,
Diverlynn

 

[Darren in NC]

Actually, Lynn, Melbourne is already covered on the above map. If you'll look dead center of the map, Sebastian Inlet is there. Melbourne is just above there where the depths are recorded at 12. It's kinda hard to compare the old and new, eh?

I can count about 14 X's on the map south of Sabastian Inlet.
If these were/are shipwrecks there are a good number of them under the beach sand and no longer in the ocean.
Very interesting.

Peg,

the "x" are obstacles (not wrecks) in this case maybe the reef......

[diverlynn]

Duh

 

[stevemc]

Yep, what Chagy said. Those are on modern charts also. They represent either exposed area at low tide or very shallow area at low tide, usually with rocks. That coast has some shallow reefs and sandbars North and South of Sebastian Inlet. But what Peg Leg said about some of the wrecks being under the sand is true. Some of the wreckage is under sand on land. Either the boats unloaded all the ballast and heavy cargo, and rolled up on the beach and later went below the sand, or the shoreline has moved out, onto the wrecks. I follow the latter theory. A well documented wreck on land is the 1715 wreck that is called Corrigans (for the original homebuilder) that is under the sand. There was cannons dug up when they were digging the foundation for a house in the 1940s, and then when they built the condos that are there now, they had lots of artifacts come up with the digging.

Hi Darren
Do you have the part that would show Jupiter and the surrounding area?
Scott

 

[Darren in NC]

Here you go, Scott. Obviously, it's changed drastically since then, but you can see Hobe Sound at the top as a reference point.

Some discrepancies are intentional to produce a fold and new quads underneath it all. Just a thought. Twisted

Found what I needed.

Thanks. Just downloaded the map and viewer and all is working fine. Trying to find out what it costs to obtain a full size, printed copy of the map. Any ideas?

 

[rgecy]

Not sure what the cost might be, but here is where you can start.

[PyrateJim]

Thanks. I went through that and never once saw any prices. Looks like you have to call them, tell them what you want, and then they quote you a price. I'll be calling on thursday.

Keegah:
The Atlantic Pilot written in 1772 by De Brahm containing all of his charts in fold-out bright white paper was reproduced by the FL. State Univ. System as a Bicentennial reproduction in 1972. The book is an exact reproduction, down to the typefaces and yellow text pages. The charts are excellent.

Alibris had a copy available this evening for $11.00
