Bahamas portion of Chart of Atlantic Ocean by A

Bahamas portion of Chart of Atlantic Ocean by A. Lindenkohl 1882. Showing Gulf Stream, Currents, Surface and Bottom Temperatures and Soundings. This bathymetric map details much of the work of the C&GS Steamer BLAKE and is among the earliest detailed maps of a continental margin. Note Puerto Rico Trenc h and Blake Plateau. This is perhaps the earliest correct depiction of a trench.
