The Story Behind the Print
This 1957 nautical chart of San Juan Channel, Washington, lettered "Friday and Roche Harbors," is U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey chart 6379, drawn on a Mercator projection at 1:20,000 with soundings in fathoms at mean lower low water. Khaki-tan land, finely contoured and marked with four compass roses, surrounds pale blue-grey shallows and open white water.
Lettered on the sheet are Orcas Island, San Juan Island, Shaw Island, Lopez Island and Henry Island, with Friday Harbor, Roche Harbor, Deer Harbor, Westcott Bay and Mitchell Bay along the shore. Waters include San Juan Channel, Haro Strait, Spieden Channel, President Channel, Wasp Passage and Upright Channel, with Spieden Island, Crane Island and Flattop Island offshore.
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.
