The Story Behind the Print
This 1968 nautical chart of the southern part of Tampa Bay was issued by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey to guide vessels from St. Petersburg and Gulfport down the main ship channel to Egmont Channel and the open Gulf of Mexico. Warm land tones and pale water give the sheet the calm, practical look of a working mariner's chart.
Boca Ciega Bay and the Pinellas keys run along the west side, with Egmont Key marking the mouth of the bay and the Sunshine Skyway crossing the lower reach. Terra Ceia Bay, Anna Maria Key, Palmetto and the Manatee River follow the south shore to Bradenton, while soundings fill the water, the Southwest Channel runs out toward the Gulf, and three compass roses sit over the bay.
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.
