The Story Behind the Print

Block Island Nautical Chart Print, 1952

This Block Island nautical chart print captures the island and surrounding Rhode Island waters with the crisp detail of a mid-century working maritime chart. The composition includes shoreline contours, depth soundings, harbor detail, navigation marks, coastal labels, and period chart typography that give the piece its quiet coastal character.

The soft aged paper tone, muted land color, pale water, and fine linework make it an easy fit for beach houses, studies, offices, boat houses, coastal bedrooms, and New England gallery walls.

Premium Archival Quality

Printed on heavyweight museum grade matte paper for crisp chart detail, soft period color, and lasting display. Soundings, labels, shoreline detail, chart marks, and original typography remain clear across the available print sizes.

A Thoughtful Gift (frame not included) This nautical chart print is a refined gift for Block Island homeowners, sailors, boaters, Rhode Island families, coastal decorators, maritime history collectors, and anyone with a connection to New England waters.

About the Frame

Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with a 1.125 inch face, glazed in crystal-clear acrylic, and finished with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire. Your print is dry mounted so it stays perfectly flat for decades. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang.

The frame adds roughly 1.75 inches to each side of the print size you select. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.
