The Story Behind the Print
This Charleston Inner Harbor nautical chart captures the intricate waterways and maritime infrastructure of one of America's most storied ports during the early-to-mid 20th century. Created by government surveyors, these detailed harbor charts were essential navigation tools for commercial vessels navigating the complex shoals, channels, and docks that made Charleston a vital Atlantic gateway.
The chart reveals the meticulous work of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, whose teams spent decades mapping America's coastlines with unprecedented precision. Every depth sounding, channel marker, and wharf location was carefully recorded to ensure safe passage for the steamships and cargo vessels that sustained Charleston's economy through both World Wars and beyond.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using giclée printing and archival inks for lasting color stability and preservation.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
From a Collector
“Third order from Archive Print Co. The paper weight, the linework — it’s the real thing. Framed it in dark walnut. Looks like it’s been hanging in a gallery for decades.”
