The Story Behind the Print
This 1968 nautical chart of Mobjack Bay and York River Entrance, Virginia, is U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey chart 494, drawn on a Mercator projection at 1:40,000 with soundings in feet at mean low water. Muted khaki-olive land, finely contoured and webbed with country roads, surrounds pale blue shoals and white deep water, with grey compass roses.
Lettered on the sheet are Mobjack Bay, the York River and Chesapeake Bay, with Yorktown, Gloucester Point, Poquoson, Mathews and Port Haywood ashore. Ware Neck, White Neck, Robins Neck, Guinea Neck, Goodwin Neck and Crab Neck divide the creeks, while New Point Comfort, Winter Harbor, Plumtree Point, Poquoson Flats and Big Salt Marsh mark the coast and shoals.
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.
