Two charts on the same sheet. PLAN du CALLAO DE LIMA ou Port de Lima, la Capital du Peroua la Cote Occidentale de l'Amerique Meridionale.PLAN de L'ANSE et PORT DE VALPARAISO a la Cote Occidentale de l'Amerique Meridionale 425 x 293 Callao Harbour from Pt.

Du Port ou de Valparaiso. ?180-200347 A General Chart, for the purpose of laying down a Ship'sTrack, on her Voyage from England to the East or West Indies, or the Pacific Ocean, by J.W.Nori Hydrographer, &c. 1833 Additions to 1839. 1900 x 788 A large map of the continental coastline from 180W to 180E and from 55N to 65S Manuscript track of Royal Navy vessel outwards from Devonport on the 28 March 1844 towards Madeira, the Canaries, Cape Verde Isles, coasts of Gambia, Sierra Leone and Liberia to Cape Palmas. Then a zig-zag course to Ascension, staying for 3 days to resupply; off again in June to spend 3 weeks cruising in the Fernando Po area before returning to Ascension. Next, east to the Congo River mouth and Benguela for most of July and August, back to Ascension, finally cruising off Angola for most of September. The vessel is not named, but her commander has written his name, Captain Brisbane RN on the chart verso, where also is seen the seller's stamp: Sold by/W.C.Cox Optician &c/87 Fore street/Devonport. William Wilberforce got his Anti-Slavery Bill through Parliament in 1807, but slavery was not abolished in the British Empire until 1833, becoming complete in 1838, near enough the same dates as the publication of this chart. The track shown is that of a Royal Navy warship almost certainly patrolling the African coast in order to intercept any slave traders heading for the Caribbean or the Americas.
