€49,00

This detailed map, "Canals, Lighthouses and Sailing Routes on St. Lawrence River & Great Lakes" from a 1915 historical atlas, depicts the entire Great Lakes system – from Lake Superior through Lake Michigan, Lake Huron with Georgian Bay, to Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and the upper St. Lawrence River as far as Montreal and Quebec.

Numerous symbols mark lighthouses and lightships along the coasts, while dashed lines trace historical sailing routes, complete with distances in nautical miles. Major ports and cities such as Sault Ste. Marie, Port Arthur, Owen Sound, Hamilton, Toronto, Kingston, and Montreal are meticulously plotted.

The map is complemented by two extensive tables: one lists sailing distances between the region's main ports, while the other, under the heading "Statistics of Canals," summarizes data on cargo, passenger, and vessel tonnage, as well as lock dimensions and construction costs for the most important canals, including the Welland Canal, the Sault Ste. Marie Canal, and the Rideau and Richelieu canals. An inset map also shows the lighthouses and sailing routes of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec in detail.

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 Canadian waterways. Produced as a high-quality giclée print, it faithfully reproduces the fine details of the original.
