1775 Map | Boston Harbor | A plan of the town and chart of the harbour of Boston exhibiting a view of the islands, castle forts, and entrances into the said harbour This chart documents the Port of Boston at the dawn of the American Revolution.

An article accompanying the Map | is entitled “An Account of the Proceedings of the American Colonists since the Passing of the Boston Port Bill.” It informs the readers that the Governor had assured the town that “he will do all in his power to secure the peace and good order of the town" and goes on to list “the regiments, & companies now at Boston.” From Gentleman's magazine, vol. 45, Jan. 1775. In center of lower margin: Feby. 1st 1775.
