The Story Behind the Print
This 1952 nautical chart of Shelter Island Sound and the Peconic Bays on Long Island, New York, is U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey chart 363, drawn on a Mercator projection at 1:40,000 with soundings in feet at mean low water. Khaki-tan land with olive-brown linework runs beside pale blue-grey shallows and soft grey-white open water, with three faint grey compass roses across the sound and bays.
Lettered on the sheet are Shelter Island, Shelter Island Sound, Greenport, Orient Harbor, Orient Point, Plum Gut and Gardiners Bay toward the eastern end, with Southold, Great Hog Neck, Hog Neck Bay, Noyack Bay, Little Peconic Bay and Sag Harbor through the middle. Great Peconic Bay opens toward Flanders Bay, Riverhead, the Peconic River, Shinnecock Canal and Southampton, and a Mattituck Inlet inset sits at the upper left.
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.
