Historical Nautical Charts: Need a gift for a nautical enthusiast? How about a historical chart from a favorite port or vacation destination? American Nautical Services offers historical charts for many U.S. regions dating as far back as 1747. These novelty charts are uniquely colored and detailed to give them an vintage look — and they’re printed on gallery-quality paper, ready for framing. These charts provide an excellent view of what mariners used for nautical navigation generations ago. Because these charts depict historical nautical information they are not intended for navigational purposes.
Decorative Nautical Charts: Do you have a favorite sailing or cruising destination? Do you have a friend or loved-one who does? Decorative nautical charts make great gifts for sailors, fishers, surfers and those who have strong maritime interests. Nautical charts look good in just about any setting and can be matched with almost all decor. They are also perfect for framing and look great under glass.
