The chart is a small but practical piece of expedition cartography, showing coastline, islands, soundings in fathoms, routes, hachured relief and a compass rose. Its value lies in its direct connection with the navigational work of the voyage: Ross’s Victory was probing the poorly known waters around Boothia Felix, where apparent harbours and ice-bound inlets could mean the difference between safety and disaster. Less decorative than the ethnographic and coloured plates, it is nevertheless an important Ross expedition map, turning the voyage’s hard-won Arctic observations into usable geographical information.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53123565420891,"sku":"P-7-028299","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-7-028299a.jpg?v=1779887896","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/elizabeth-harbour-by-captain-john-ross-2nd-arctic-expedition-1835-old-map-p-7-028299","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
