Admiralty Chart

An Admiralty Chart is a type of nautical map specifically designed for maritime navigation. Produced by national hydrographic offices, these charts provide detailed information about coastal waters, including depths, hazards, navigational aids, and land features. They help sailors and vessels safely navigate through oceans, rivers, and harbors. The charts use a standardized format and symbols, ensuring consistency and accuracy for mariners worldwide. By referencing Admiralty Charts, navigators can avoid dangers like rocks and shallow areas, ensuring safe passage on water routes. They are essential tools for both commercial shipping and recreational boating.
