Frenchman Bay and Mount Desert Island Chart

This is NOAA’s chart number 13318, titled “Frenchman Bay and Mount Desert Island,” and it is based on the original, traditional paper nautical chart. It covers a section of Maine’s coast focusing on Frenchman Bay and Mount Desert Island. Coverage extends from Schoodic Harbour to Placentia Island. The chart’s scale is 1:40,000 At Lat. 44°23’N. Colour shading on the chart indicates various water depths and land elevations. Depth soundings are in feet. Also included on the chart are aids and hazards to navigation. Typically, mariners use nautical charts covering this map scale for inshore and nearshore navigation. NOAA is phasing out this paper chart and others like it. Electronic charts for onboard navigation are replacing paper charts. Certain products in our Nautical Chart Store utilise cropped or edited elements on the chart. I have removed or modified sections of this chart to improve its overall aesthetic image quality. Cropping and reprinting this chart makes it unsuitable for navigation. However, this chart is ideal for home and business decor. Framed nautical charts make great conservation pieces. Nautical charts printed on other products in our store make excellent additions to the decor in living areas, bedroom areas, and bathrooms. Wall art created from nautical charts is ideal for creating a nautical theme for homes and businesses. This nautical chart was used to create additional products and apparel. This chart is customisable. You can also use this chart to create other products not found in my store. Significant landmarks and navigational references include Acadia National Park, Frenchman Bay, Mount Desert Island, Schoodic Harbour, Gulf of Maine, Bar Harbour, Winter Harbour, Grindstone Neck, Ironbound Island, Stave Island Harbour, Stave Island, Flanders Bay, Sullivan Harbour, Crabtree Neck, Jordan River, Mount Desert Narrow, Eastern Bay, and Western Bay.
