Title: Middle Part of the Southern Coast of Long Island.
Description: This is an extraordinary and extremely rare large format 1857 U.S. Coast Survey nautical chart or maritime map of southeastern Long Island, New York. The map depicts part of Suffolk County from Moriches Bay to Napeague Harbor, including the summer getaways of Sag... Harbor, East Hampton, Southampton (South Hampton), Quogue, Bridgehampton and Amagansett, among others. It extends as far north as Gardiner's Island and Hog Neck. The inland regions are depicted in considerable detail, down to individual buildings. In addition to inland details, this chart contains a wealth of practical information for the mariner including depth soundings, harbors, and navigation tips on important channels. Two views decorate the bottom of the map, one depicting about 9 miles of coast south of Speonk, and another depicting the coast south of Shinnecock.
This map was created under the direction of A. D. Bache, Superintendent of the Survey of the Coast of the United States and one of the most influential American cartographers of the 19th century. This is one of the best maps of Long Island to appear in the 19th century.

Customs: International buyers are responsible for paying duty and taxes on delivery. DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
