"Soundings in fathoms, figures on the land show height in feet." "[Chart] 1950"--Lower right margin. This map has been conserved through the generosity of RoseMary Oliveira, 2012 through the Adopt-a-Map program. Acquired by gift Oct. 8, 1918 from Allison V. Armour. In the minutes of the November 7, 1918 AGS Council meeting, Allison Armour was thanked for his donation of 433 Admiralty Charts to the Society. "These charts fill many gaps in the collections of the Society and are of special value at this time on account of their frequent use by the Government Commisssion now established temporarily in the house of the Society." It is likely that Armour's maps were consulted by the delegates for the Inquiry to the Peace Conference at Versailles, 1918-1919.Grayscale1:975,000 ; (W 31°30ʹ--W 24°30ʹ/N 40°00ʹ--N 36°15ʹ
