The years between the end of the American Revolution and the
beginning of the Civil War were crucial ones in the history of
American coastal charting. At the beginning, foreign charts,
principally British, were available; and a few of American origin.
The latter were largely copies of British charts, and a few were
compiled by local shipmasters and pilots. The more successful
publishers were able to compile hydrographic data using their own
resources, and added corrections in new editions of their charts. A
"survey of the coast" was initiated by Congress in 1807 under
Thomas Jefferson's administration. Delays due to the War of 1812
and political disagreements slowed progress and the production of
the first important chart, that of New York harbour, was not
published until 1843. Private publishers filled an important void
between the time the Coast Survey was initiated and the time they
produced usable charts. Data on the private publishers has been
collected for publication here for the first time. Nevertheless,
the survey was to increase the availability of charts which were
accurate within the framework of hydrographic knowledge at the
time. The Coast Survey succeeded in charting the entire coastline
by the beginning of the Civil War. This volume is the first
definitive study of these charts.
