OR...
A chart of the Baltic from Admirility and Russian surveys showing ,among other things the fortification of Cronstadt and St petersburg.The batteries at Cronstadt..showing the placement of 100 Paixhans guns,120pounders,that guarded the entrance harbour of St Petersburg...
Charles deSilver,Philadelphia..1856..

Are you interested in a pilot's guide (maritime, not airplane) for the St. Lawrence River, circa 1947?

Dave I know the shop outside the Menin Gate, I was there in May..I thought his prices were really high...everything cost FAR more there than anywhere else I had seen the same items.

Bruce..does the guide have charts...I need to see the old shoreline of the St Lawrence River..before they raised it..I have a pilots guide from the 30s..but only words, no maps pr charts.

Thank you

im taking about the other one about the same distance from the museum but in the other direction. they had mess tins, artillery, loads and loads of cap badges, and lots of paper goods.

Mine is a list of things to look out for, much like yours, only dated 1946. It has one fold out map that is an index to the charts that were available at the time. I'll also correct myself (having actually found the book and therefore not relying on memory): it's the Gulf of St. Lawrence Pilot. While looking for it, I found a linen map of the Aldershot District (North), owned by a Mr. Rayison (?), Captain, Assistant Provost Marshal, Canadians, Egham, Surrey, stamped as received by the Orderly Room, 2nd Sept. 1917. I should really spend more time digging into my book shelves!!

Thanks again, however it's not what I need at this time..however the other thing you found is interesting.
