Santa Monica Bay Nautical Chart, Early 20th Century Coastal Map
This Santa Monica Bay nautical chart is a fine art reproduction of an early 20th century U.S. coastal survey, recording the shoreline, soundings, navigation aids, and approach routes along this stretch of the California coast. Its measured linework and tidal notes capture the bay as mariners would have studied it at the time, turning a practical working document into a quietly compelling piece of wall art.
The restrained palette, precise grid, and handwritten annotations give the chart a calm coastal presence. It rewards close viewing—following depth contours, tracing harbor approaches, and reading the language of buoys and channels—while remaining visually clean enough to sit comfortably in both modern and traditional spaces.
Premium Archival Quality
Each chart is printed on heavyweight museum grade matte paper to preserve fine linework, subtle tonal shifts, and the character of the original sheet. High resolution restoration ensures that soundings, labels, and chart notes remain crisp and legible over time.
A Thoughtful Gift
This Santa Monica Bay chart makes a considered gift for sailors, California locals, coastal history enthusiasts, or anyone who prefers authentic charts over generic seaside decor. It suits study walls, quiet corners, and spaces where maritime history feels at home.
Color and Detail Note
Colors and tones may vary slightly due to differences in screen settings. Each print is created from high resolution source imagery to ensure accurate reproduction and clear, detailed rendering of the original chart.
