Item Details
Description
This is a very interesting map of St. Kitts and Nevis Islands of the Lesser Antilles. It shows the French Fleet offshore from Irish Town and St. George's Town, today's Basseterre on St. Kitts. Admiral Hood's Squadron is in a defensive position protecting the towns against the French fleet. St. Kitts was contested between the French, Spanish and English numerous times during the 17th and 18th century, due to the prosperous sugar plantations on the island. This map illustrates the siege that followed the Battle of St Kitts, during the American Revolutionary War, which eventually resulted in a French victory. The islands were returned to Britain under the Treaty of Versailles in 1783. Much detail is offered as to topography, rivers, churches, forts, the parishes and towns. Published in the March 1782 issue of the European Magazine.
