It shows the mainland on the left side and Cape Breton on the right side and has the distance between the two sides in miles, and the depth of the water and height of the land shown in feet. There is a description underneath the drawing that reads "The natural depth of the strait (around 180') was gauged even deeper (indicated by the dotted line) by the action of currents and rocks as the gap closed. |
