The charts published by the Hydrographic Office of the Admiralty in London at the end of the nineteenth century represent well both cartographic history and also the history of European naval technology and surveying techniques. The concise coastal surveys were compiled to meet the naval demand for the most contemporary description of the Mediterranean which illustrated necessary nautical information. Many of the sheets are described as updated versions of previously issued maps with added details such as water depth, land elevation and directional readings.
