Description
Captain Collins [1643-1694] was a Royal Navy officer and a prominent hydrographer, who was commissioned by King Charles II in 1676 and appointed by Samuel Pepys (then Secretary to the Admiralty), to chart the coasts of Great Britain. Until publication of his atlas, nautical charts were often defective. With a yacht supplied by the Admiralty, and financially supported and supervised by Trinity House, Collins spent seven years on the survey, the first edition of which was published in 1693. The charts, while not completely accurate, were an enormous advance on anything before them, entitling Collins to rank as not only one of the earliest, but also among the best of English hydrographers. Twenty-one further editions were published during the eighteenth century.The charts enjoy many decorative features including cartouches, dedications, compass roses and numerous rhumb lines
