This map locates and names shipwrecks which occurred off the coast of Anticosti Island from 1870 to 1879. Coastal telegraph lines and stations are indicated, as are lighthouses. The coastal telegraph lines and submarine cable to the Gaspé Peninsula shown here were not completed until 1882 according to telegraph charts, hence the date 1882 has been supplied to this map. The N.M.C. also holds a similar manuscript map which may be a first draft of this map.
For the manuscript map see: H11/340/Anticosti/1879. For the telegraph charts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence see: H2/1102/1882(1876); H2/1100/1881(1876)
