The map shows sailing routes and a table listing of the distance, in miles, from Halifax, Montreal and Quebec to major ports. Although, Newfoundland and Labrador was not a part of Canada in 1915, there is some data shown for this region. The lighthouses are distinguished between fixed, revolving lights, and lightship.
