这幅有吸引力和迷人的海图成为了孟买港18世纪后半叶大部分时间最权威的平面图. 它以威廉·尼切尔森船长在1763年左右起草的手稿图表为基础,他担任了孟买皇家海军的总监. 地图上保持了向西的视角,现代城市的基础在孟买岛的南端被清楚地显示. 孟买是东印度公司在印度西部业务的总部,也是印度最繁忙的港口. 英国殖民政府和军事机构位于孟买要塞的建筑群内,被围墙严密地封闭. 离北部稍远一点的是孟买的商业中心和港口 " Dungaree Town " ,人口约14万,是文化多元性和经济活力非凡的地方。 Nichelson的海图及其基于仔细调查的详细航海资料,是孟买港的第一张普遍准确的航海图。 最早出版于1765年左右,形式为大规模八面板建筑,今天仅以少数例子活了下来. 目前的例子是一个非常罕见的早期被缩减的图版.
