French Chart of Isla Culebra

Antilles – Ile de Culebra ou du Passage

This detailed chart of Isla Culebra (now an island-municipality of Puerto Rico) was derived from British Admiralty surveys. With no permanent population for centuries, the island was settled by the Spanish in the 1880s, and ceded to the United States after the Spanish-American War.
