The map “Lighthouses and Sailing Routes on Atlantic Coast” from a historical Atlas of Canada impressively depicts the Canadian Atlantic coast – from the Gulf of St. Lawrence through the provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island to Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, and part of Newfoundland.

Numerous symbols mark lighthouses and lightships along the highly indented coastline, while dashed lines trace historical sailing routes along with distances in nautical miles – including long-distance overseas routes toward Liverpool, Glasgow, Antwerp, or Hamburg. Major ports and cities such as Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown, Quebec, and St. John are carefully noted, as are prominent bodies of water like the Bay of Fundy, the Northumberland Strait, and the Cabot Strait.

The map is complemented by an extensive table of sailing distances from Halifax, Montreal, and Quebec to numerous ports worldwide, from Aberdeen and Bombay to Yokohama, including details on the respective routes via the Suez Canal, Cape Horn, the Cape of Good Hope, or the Strait of Magellan.

With its wealth of nautical and economic historical details, this map is a fascinating piece for enthusiasts of maritime history, collectors of historical maps, and anyone interested in the development of the Canadian Atlantic coast. Produced as a high-quality giclée print, it faithfully reproduces the fine details of the original.
