Edgartown Harbor and Cotemy Bay, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts 1871 Nautical Chart

A Reproduction of a nautical chart of Edgartown Harbor and Cotemy Bay, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts published in 1871 by the U.S. Coast Survey. This chart shows topography, water depths, and nautical features. In 1807, President Thomas Jefferson signed a bill for the "Survey of the Coast," thus establishing the United States Coast Survey. In its early decades, the Coast Survey was responsible for charting the coastlines. In 1970 NOAA was established, bringing C&GS into the new scientific agency. Today, the Office of Coast Survey continues its traditional commitment to employing the highest levels of science and technology to improve marine safety and to tackle the new challenges of the 21st century.
