Tidewater Maps

Charts for walls, not for navigation.

We print coastal and harbour charts from public survey data, redrawn for legibility at arm's length. Every sheet is printed when you order it, trimmed by hand and rolled in a card tube. Nothing sits in a warehouse fading.

Lead times

Catalogue sheets print within three working days. Custom areas take about two weeks, most of which is drawing the coastline at the scale you asked for.

We post on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Framing

Oak or black ash, non-reflective glazing, hung ready. Framing adds about a week and is available for Small and Medium only, because the larger frames do not survive the post.

Ordering a custom area

  1. Send us the two corners of the area you want, as place names or coordinates.
  2. We reply with a proof at low resolution and the size we think suits it.
  3. You mark up anything you want named, moved or left out.
  4. We print once you approve the second proof. Two rounds of changes are included.

Depth soundings are shown in metres unless you ask otherwise. We leave off buoys and lights by default; they clutter a wall chart and go out of date. See the catalogue for ready-made sheets.
