“Love it!! I don’t know how they did it, but they manage to make the map look old and like something from a museum. The frame is gorgeous. Shipped fast and was very carefully packaged so it arrived in perfect condition. Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! Thanks!!”

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.
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.
Customer notes
From our collectors
“This print is BEAUTIFUL! It arrived quickly and soundly packaged. The color is just as we expected, and we absolutely love it. Already looking to collect more. Highly recommended vendor and item. (Thank you!)”
“I contacted Paola and asked if she could print me a Sanibel Island map - even though there wasn't one on her page for sale. She immediately responded with "yes" and sent me a photograph before printing for me to approve. My package came well protected; and my picture is absolutely perfect! It looks beautiful in the distressed wood frame I bought. My mom is going to love it; and now I have to order one for myself!”
