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.

So far my dog hasn’t destroyed it! And it’s been a month. So I call that a win. Plus he loves it.

One Tough Ball!
Color: Blue
Our dogs are loving this ball. Our 1 yr old hound is a world-class chewer and he can't make a dent in this ball. The interactive buzzing and bouncing keeps them entertained for long durations. It's a mite noisy but the barking from the 1 yr old is much louder, lol. Even turned off, they like playing with it and chewing on it. Based on the tough construction, we think it will last much longer than traditional chew balls.

Great quality and built to last. My dog really enjoys playing with it and stays entertained for quite a while. The material is strong yet safe, and the included drawstring bag is a convenient extra for easy storage. Is colorful and my become my puppy’s favorite.

If you love your dog…don’t buy this.
Color: Orange
We have a nonaggressive English cocker. She opened the ball every time she played with it. And yes, we are closing it as hard as we can. I do not recommend this toy for any dog! This is a dangerous toy for a dog that is not supervised.
