A fine detailed chart of the waters around Batavia, or present day Jakarta in Indonesia. Jakarta can be seen lower right with the historically important port of Bantam further to the west. The Straits of Sunda are featured before the coast of Sumatra. A fascinating detail is the presence of Cracatoa in the Straits which was famously destroyed when it erupted in 1883. This chart is found in examples of Laurie and Whittle’s ‘Complete East India Pilot’. NMM 379 no. 154.
