A nautical chart of the island of Newfoundland and the surrounding North Atlantic, titled "MAP of the Island of TERRE-NEUVE". The map shows the coastline of "TERRA NOVA" and the "MARE SEPTENTRIONALIS" (North Sea). In the lower portion of the water, "The Great Bank" (Grand Bank) is indicated. The map is densely populated with illustrations of two- and three-masted sailing vessels engaged in various stages of the cod fishery. A compass rose is situated in the middle of the Atlantic portion. A scale of miles (Dutch and French Miles) is at the bottom left. The map is framed by a border containing latitude and longitude markings (ranging from 310 to 345 degrees longitude and 43 to 53 degrees latitude).
