The charts are very large, the three of them cover that entire
coastline, and they date mostly from the mid 1800s.

These Nautical charts are extremely detailed, showing not only ports
and harbors but lighthouses, bouys and depth soundings as well as
islands, shoals, and other dangers to mariners. The image to
the right is a high-res clip from the 1854 chart displayed above it,
