CHARTS
The retired navigational charts that we carry also come from shipbreaking yards and were salvaged from working vessels. Occasionally we'll come across charts that have handwritten routing plans - we've even had a few with warnings about pirates (those are ususally off the western coasts of Africa) and one that even reminded in bright orange marker of migratory and calving patterns of Right Whales along the Atlantic Coast of the U.S.!
Please note that these charts come to us in huge stacks and it takes a few months for us to sort and categorize them by geographic region (at the moment we have charts from the U.S., South America, India, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe). When emailing inquiries about specific locations, please include the closest LARGE port or city so we can easily reference the area.
Most charts measure around 3' x 4' (feet). We do not list each one online, but here are a few examples of what some of our charts look like...
