Its interest lies in the coastline itself, a chart of the New England shore with towns, harbors and headlands labeled along the water's edge. Coastal maps like this were practical tools for mariners, fishermen and merchants who relied on soundings and landmarks to find safe anchorage. Many of the names on such sheets record English settlement, borrowed from home towns and Old World places, and the outlines were often copied and revised from earlier surveys. Looking closely at the labels shows how Europeans claimed, named and understood the region during the colonial era.
