I am fascinated with navigation charts.
I am fascinated with navigation charts both old and new. When I was in Chatham two years ago, I visited the shop and found navigation charts from the mid-1800's for areas of the Louisiana Gulf Coast that I have been fishing for the last 45 years. My recent purchase was a navigation chart from the mid-1800's of the approaches to a river on the Gulf Coast that I grew up on and a bay that I have fished and boated in for 45 years. I found the navigation chart for the approaches to the river particularly fascinating since my two great-great uncles probably much the same chart as the brought their trading schooners into the river to reach the ports on the river.

Thank you for your order and review. We are so glad you were able to find some great antique charts showing such special locations. How cool that your two great-great uncles may have been using similar charts in their day!
