DescriptionChart of the harbor in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with soundings at low tide in feet. The surrounding land is not depicted in much detail, although elevation and what appears to be swampland are both conveyed. An accompanying report shows that the chart was drafted to suggest an improvement to the harbor by dredging that would allow for greater access by commercial vessels.
