Antique Mt outlet Desert Island, Maine 1943 US Coast Guard Nautical Map – Blue Hill Bay, Acadia National Park, Ellsworth, Southwest Harbor, ME

Beautiful, antique nautical chart of Blue Hill Bay and the Western Part of Mt Desert Island of the Maine Coast. This is an authentic map from the United States Coast Guard & Geodetic Survey, published in 1943 and is NOT a computer reproduction. Verso is blank.

See what the Maine Coast looked like more than 75 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including depth soundings, cities, streets, rivers, anchorages, magnetic anomaly areas and other points of nautical interest. Map is very large and would be the focal point in whatever room it is hung. (See quarter in bottom left corner of map for idea of scale.)

Perfect for the historian, seaman, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1943, printed 1943

Dimensions: 27" width x 42" height

Condition: Good Vintage condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being over 70 years old. Has some edge-wear, outlet staining, folds and toning but this will read as vintage character when framed. It looks like this map has seen many sea voyages!
