A handsome example of a sea chart prepared by Le Rouge for use by the French Navy during the Revolutionary War as their navy engaged British ships on numerous occasions along the Carolina coast. This chart was included in Le Rouge's Atlas Ameriquain Septentrionale, based on manuscript charts produced by Nathaniel Pocock (1740-1821), presumably by a British mapmaker. Phillips, p.819.
