paper charts ???
Hello everyone, I didn't visit this part of the board very often but figured this was a good place to seek help.
I was visiting my father today for Fathers Day and noticed a new painting he had just done. He then told me how he did it on a paper nautical chart. Most are waterproof now as far as I know. Does anyone know how I can find some more of the older paper charts? Weren't they in book form? (Been a long time since I used charts, back in the Loran days)
Here's a copy of the pic he painted. I am looking for Cape Cod, the Islands and Boston Harbor.

Mac, let me look around... ask my brother too. Sure we have some old updated ones, but most will need some work, as they most likely have been folded for years. Will take a week to locate most likely,
That is awesome piece by your dad!

That's awesome, well done to your dad. I can't remember who sketches the stripers on here, but that would look great on a chart.
you can get paper charts at westmarine/boat us, I think they go for $17 a piece.
freebee alert: If you go to a coast guard station, they may have outdated charts that theyll give up for $0.
again great work by your dad.

Dad has a lot of talent Dave. Hope all is well with you and your family. I would think West Marine has the charts you want in a big wooden drawer set up at the store like said above. I am pretty sure they are paper.

Yep, they're still on paper, also Armchair Sailor in Newport, RI. (on Thames, like a block before Team One... the old SWE building)
ps: to hell with west ripoff marine, support a small bookstore/chart store!

you can download them as tiffs here and plot them onto whatever size and type paper you want. just get the file name from the table at the bottom of the page and download the tif by clicking on the link at the top.

 tiffs......I thought that was what my wife had when she got mad at me....
Thanks for the compliments and help everyone. I'll try a few of the suggestions. Maybe I could download them onto one of those stick things and have Staples or someone print them???
I guess I could answer the "you might be a redneck if....." with an affirmative.  |

There is a gentleman who is at the Harwich Cranberry Fest each year that sells old nautical charts and will paint whatever you want onto them, fish, lighthouses, boats, you name it. My wife surprised me with one for my B Day a few years ago. She paid a good dollar for it too, maybe your Dad could pay for some bait that way?!
