A rare 1858 Rodrigo Bernardo de Estrada Cuban sugar boom nautical map of the port of Isabela de Sagua (here Boca el Rio) and the entrance to Segua la Grande, Central Cuba. This map was produced to facilitate international shipping from Isabella de Sagua, which in 1858 was connected by rail to the bustling Sagua Valley sugar plantations. The map details the vicinity of Isabela de Sagua, on the north central coast of Villa Clara province. It includes routes through the complex barrier cayos (islands) into the Bahia de Carahatas, the Bahia de Segua la Grande, and the Bahia de Novillo. Textual instructions for the mariner are offered in English and Spanish, suggesting the intended audience for this piece was both Cuban and American. (more details)
