A fine large scale plan of the harbour of ‘Porto Praya’ (Praia) on Santiago, the capital of the Cape Verde Islands. It is situated on the south coast and shows wonderfully how the town has grown; the whole area to the south and west of the town is now developed. A prospect of the approach is shown above. The roads and individual buildings are shown as are numerous soundings in the bay. The original survey in 1834 is the work of Lieutenant William Arlett of the Royal Navy. This chart was first published in 1862 and corrected in 1873.
