Virgin Islands surveyed in 1774.
Finished, pen and ink outline map showing the route of Admiral William Parry, commander in chief of the fleet of the Leeward Islands. Some soundings and anchorages marked.; This map accompanied the report by John Purcell, "An account of the Virgin Islands," dated London, 7 November 1768, which is bound with the Strachey Papers. Since the bulk of the papers in this group are in answer to a questionnaire issued by Lord Dartmouth in 1773 to the various American colonies, this report is probably included in the Strachey copies only because it deals with the West Indies.; Brun guide and old map card identify this map as from the Strachey Papers, while penciled note on map itself suggests it is from Dartmouth Papers.; Route of Parry's fleet illustrated with small, detailed figures of ships.; Cartouche bordered by military trophies.
