A 16th-century nautical chart shows the northeastern coast of England, specifically the area around Tynemouth and Coquet Island. The map features a detailed coastline with hills, coastal towns, and fortifications. In the sea, there are numerous depth soundings, two large sailing ships (a three-masted ship and a smaller galley-style vessel with oars and a sail), a sea monster, and a partial compass rose on the left edge. A decorative cartouche at the bottom right contains distance scales. The map also includes two horizontal coastal profiles at the top illustrating how the land appears from the sea.
