The Story Behind the Print
This 1969 nautical chart of Monterey Bay is U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey chart 5403, drawn at 1:50,000 with soundings in fathoms. Fine blue depth curves swirl down the submarine canyon across a near-white bay, and a narrow strip of sandstone-tan shore curves from Santa Cruz around to the Monterey Peninsula.
Lettered on the sheet are Santa Cruz, Capitola, Soquel, Aptos, Rio Del Mar, Moss Landing, Castroville, Marina, Seaside, Monterey and Pacific Grove, with Soquel Cove, Elkhorn Slough and the Pajaro and Salinas rivers. Point Pinos and Cypress Point close the south end, and insets enlarge the harbors at Santa Cruz, Moss Landing and Monterey. Soundings at the seaward end of Monterey Canyon pass 1,000 fathoms.
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.
