The Story Behind the Print
This striking nautical chart captures the San Francisco Bay Area during the height of America's maritime expansion in the early 20th century. Created when the region was rapidly transforming from Gold Rush settlement to major Pacific port, the chart reveals the intricate waterways that made San Francisco one of the world's great harbors.
Produced by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, this vintage coastal map showcases the meticulous detail required for safe navigation through the Bay's complex channels, shoals, and tidal patterns. Every depth measurement and landmark reflects the painstaking work of surveyors who mapped these treacherous waters. The chart's clean lines and precise typography embody the era's commitment to scientific accuracy—essential tools that guided everything from fishing boats to massive steamships carrying cargo across the Pacific.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using fade-resistant giclée printing and archival inks for lasting beauty. 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.
