Halftone reproduction of a bird's eye view, dated 1702, of the Philadelphia waterfront and environs. Shows two boats, lower left, entering Dock Creek. The Blue Anchor Inn stands to the right of the bridge, near the mouth of the creek. The opening of caves are shown at the foot of Chestnut Street. Here some of the early settlers lived until they built their homes. High Street (now Market) is shown with market houses in the center over which flies the British flag. Duck Pond, upper center, was located at what is now 4th and Market Streets. Nearby stands the Friend's Public School.
