The Story Behind the Print
This 1957 nautical chart of New River Inlet to Cape Fear, North Carolina, is U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey chart 1235, drawn on a Mercator projection at 1:80,000 with soundings in feet at mean low water. Khaki-taupe land and darker marsh trace a long barrier-island coast, with pale blue-grey shoals giving way to open white water scattered with soundings.
Lettered on the sheet are Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Masonboro and Sneads Ferry, with the Cape Fear River, New River Inlet, New Topsail Inlet, Masonboro Sound, Topsail Sound and Carolina Beach Inlet along the coast. Smith I., Federal Pt, Cape Fear and Sheephead Rock mark the southern end. A tide table covers New River Inlet, New Topsail Inlet, Moore Inlet and Cape Fear, and notes cover storm warnings and fish trap areas.
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.
