Greenwich displays a cluster of perhaps a dozen buildings and fields along a country road. Inset of NYC area shows evry building up to the more developed blocks in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Covers CT coast to east of Stratford and Long Island to east of Mt. Sinai Harbor. Best available description of much of this area for that era. Strangely, the two hand stamps on the bottom margin: "PRINTED OCT. 26 1889" and "CORRECTED TO NOV. 9 1889" seem out of normal sequence, unless the corrections were done by hand after printing. There are some manuscript additions. Uniform light browning to chart surface, else very good for a working captain's chart. Definitely a museum piece. Scarce Captain's Chart of W. Long Island & NYC.
