1868 Admiralty Chart (No 2085) of the south coast of Africa from Cape St Francis to Waterloo BayAdmiralty Chart No. 2085, Cape St. Francis to Waterloo Bay (first published 24 April 1867), covers the vital Eastern Cape coastline from St. Francis Bay through Algoa Bay to Great Fish Point at the mouth of the Fish River, at a working scale of about 1: 250,000. Compiled chiefly from Francis Skeads 185760 surveys, the chart provides dense soundings, seabed notes, and hazard markings, particularly around Algoa Bay, the open roadstead that underpinned

Admiralty Chart No. 2085, Cape St. Francis to Waterloo Bay (first published 24 April 1867), covers the vital Eastern Cape coastline from St. Francis Bay through Algoa Bay to Great Fish Point at the mouth of the Fish River, at a working scale of about 1:250,000. Compiled chiefly from Francis Skead’s 1857–60 surveys, the chart provides dense soundings, seabed notes, and hazard markings, particularly around Algoa Bay, the open roadstead that underpinned the rise of Port Elizabeth as the region’s principal port. Features such as Roman Rock, Thunderbolt Reef, and the Cape Recife Lighthouse (first lit in 1851) are carefully plotted, while marginal annotations warn of the dangerous easterly gales and swell conditions that often wrecked vessels at anchor. Though less naturally sheltered than Table Bay or Simon’s Town, Algoa Bay became a hub for wool exports and frontier trade, and the Admiralty’s hydrography reflects its growing importance just before breakwater construction began. Issued on the eve of the Suez Canal’s opening in 1869, Chart 2085 captures the south coast at a time when the Cape route was still the main maritime highway to India and Australia, and it remains an invaluable record of the pre-harbour era of Port Elizabeth and its hazardous approaches.

This map is a reproduction of a historical map that is now in the public domain. It has been selected for its aesthetic appeal and historical interest and carefully restored and reproduced to preserve its original detail and character.  There may be marks and fold lines visible which add to the authentic look.  The map is printed on 230gsm heavyweight coated paper with a matte finish.  Most old maps were printed on uncoated rag or wood pulp papers and therefore a matte finish best represents the original map.

My dogs are smiling!
Size: Small
I have 3 small dogs (ranging from about 10 lbs - 13 lbs). This dental toy was the perfect size. My dogs love it (with or without treats). It is durable, even after lots of chewing. I had bought another brand of the same type of toy and they bit off pieces in the first week. It really has made a difference in their teeth cleanliness and their breath is even fresher. Overall great value and my dogs love it!

Not Suitable For Dobermans or Labradors
Size: Large, Size: Large
In reading all of the reviews, it seemed that most dogs were just not interested in chewing the toy. It is suitable for a dog treat inside but my dogs do not have treats in toys, since both are aggressive dog chewers. Upon opening both packages, I thought this is going to be great for both of them. I purchased two, one for each of them. My male 3 year old, 92 pound European Doberman consistently kept his away from the 1 1/2 year old 65 pound female labrador mix, and within one hour we had already had a break in one of the toys. I do not know which one did it!? Nor do I care. Especially when I had to wake up at 2:30 in the morning to the sounds of vomiting dog toy pieces from my girl. Was it the material that caused the vomiting or that the material is not strong enough for an aggressive tour as advertised? Very disappointed.
