Abstract
Sequences of repeated bathymetric surveys through time have been successfully used to document the morphodynamical evolution of coastal environments within historical times. Most chronobathymetric sequences have a restricted temporal coverage, as surveys rarely date back earlier than the 19th century. The aim of this study is to explore the potential of older lead line depth measurements as a reliable source of bathymetric data. A late 17th century marine chart of the Pertuis Charentais (France) was used as a test case. High-resolution scans of the chart sheets were retrieved from a public online digital library. A rare manuscript contemporary to the chart was o...
