The Story Behind the Print
This 1968 nautical chart of Block Island was issued by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey for the island off the coast of Rhode Island. Warm land tones and pale water give the sheet the calm, practical look of a working mariner's chart.
Block Island fills the middle of the sheet, with Great Salt Pond opening on its west side, Sachem Pond near the northern point and the town of Block Island on the east shore. Block Island Sound and the open Atlantic surround it with depth soundings, and compass roses sit in the water on every side.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using fade-resistant giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring your vintage nautical chart will maintain its maritime heritage for generations.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
