The map depicts the famous Siege of St. Augustine by General Oglethorpe who approached the area both from the land & the sea. The map & view was also published later in 1742 in "Oglethorpe. An Impartial Account of the late Expedition Against St. Augustine under General Oglethorpe. by J. Huggonson. The View shows finely engraved drawings of the ships, with buildings along the shore & the Castle, with channels & breakers at the harbor entrance.
