Nautical Chart

A nautical chart is a specialized map used for marine navigation. It shows important information about bodies of water, including depths, underwater hazards, shorelines, and navigational aids like buoys and lighthouses. These charts help sailors safely navigate by providing details about routes, currents, and tides, ensuring they can avoid dangers and find their way to their destination. Nautical charts can be printed or digital and are essential tools for ships, boats, and other watercraft to ensure safe travel on the water.
