“Great looking print. Paper was heavy & thick. The aging - spots, runs, etc added authenticity of it being an old chart. We Found a great frame and had it professionally mounted. Just the right size. Wanted to change the size And they were right on it - excellent product & seller. Thx”

The Story Behind the Print
This meticulously detailed nautical chart captures the treacherous waters around Nantucket Sound and Chatham during the early 20th century, when Cape Cod's waters were among the busiest shipping lanes on the Eastern seaboard. Originally created for mariners navigating these notoriously challenging shoals, the chart reveals the intricate bathymetry and countless hazards that made this stretch of Massachusetts coastline both vital and feared.
The waters off Chatham were particularly notorious among sailors—shifting sandbars, hidden shoals, and powerful currents created a maritime graveyard that claimed hundreds of vessels. This working chart would have been essential equipment for captains threading their way through channels that could shift with each storm, its precise soundings and detailed coastal features literally meaning the difference between safe passage and disaster.
Reproduced on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using premium giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring the fine details and subtle nautical blues remain vivid for generations.
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.
