CLANCY, John. "A Draught of Lisbon Harbour Survey'd in 1763." An original manuscript chart in pencil, ink and wash of the entrance to Lisbon Harbour and the Tagus, the title in a banner at the top, key in lower right corner with scale of six leagues and variation of compass shown, coastal profile of the "Rock of Lisbon" seen at four leagues distant, signed "Jno. Clancy," 355 x 250mm.
An interesting chart, mentioned specifically in Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmakers under Clancy, and of particular interest because it bears an illustration of HMS Centurion (of which Clancy was Master). In 1762 the ship had returned from Havana which, in August of that year, it had helped capture under the command of Captain James Galbraith. Lisbon at this time was still undergoing major reconstruction under the direction of the Marquis de Pombal after the disastrous earthquake of 1755, although the chart shows a city apparently unscathed.
