I put the link to this hydrographical sea chart on the thread connected with Plover Bay. However I thought it deserves an image in its own right on Gwulo as the names are so evocative, e.g. Crooked Harbour, Port Shelter, Rocky Hanrbour and the Nine Pin Group of islands, and I'm not sure if they still exist. There's also a nice little glossary of Chinese to English geographical terms. From the information given, I believe the chart was from the 1906 British Survey but not printed till 1912 and then reissued by the US during World War 2.

This is the pair to "Tolo Harbour 1929" that I uploaded a few days ago. It is also from WR Fell's album of 1928-29 and has also suffered damage. There seems to be a railway line following the curve of the bay and a tunnel at the end.
