Abstract

The article discusses issues related to a map of New Providence Island believed to be manufactured during the 1700s. Topics discussed include the presumed dates of the creation of the map found by Dr. Cy Shearer of Villanova University. Information is presented on an evaluation of the undated map. A background of the island is also presented which includes the degraded state of the island in 1718 caused by the proliferation of pirates.
