Approaches to New London Harbor Nautical Chart Desk Mat

This is NOAA’s chart number 13212 titled, “Approaches to New London Harbor Nautical Chart 13212”. This chart is based on the original, traditional NOAA paper nautical chart. It covers the approaches to New London Harbor, on Long Island Sound, from Morgan Point to Millstone Point, down to Plum Island. The chart’s scale is 1:20,000 at Lat. 41°14’N. Color 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 harbor and inshore 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 NauticalChart Store utilize 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. Significant landmarks and navigational references include Long Island Sound, Fishers Island, New London Harbor, Fishers Island Sound, Noank, Morgan Point, Plum Island, West Harbor, Venetian Harbor, Mumford Cove, Poquonock River, Groton Long Point, Horseshoe Reef, Bluff Point, Bushy Point Beach, Baker Cove, Thames River, Osprey Beach, Ocean Beach, Goshen Point, Twotree Island Channel, and Millstone Point.
