A maritime chart depicts the North coast of England, taken from Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer's "Mirror of Seamanship." At the top is a coastal profile showing the appearance of the land from the sea with various towns and an "Admiral's house." The main map shows the coastline from Easton Ness towards the north, including depth soundings, sandbanks, and two sailing vessels. A prominent compass rose indicates directions. Ornate Renaissance-style strapwork cartouches contain the title and privilege. A scale bar at the bottom provides distances in Spanish and German miles.
