i have a boaters chart of the space coast from 1971 that was in the closet in the house when i moved in and i would love to display it, but the paper is old and crispy and really wants to stay rolled up
it has a couple tears that it seems eager to let grow larger, it has some holes
but i think that's characters and could be fixed with packing tape along the back
this thing is huge, it's like three feet across and more than that tall
i don't even know if there's enough wall space left anywhere in the house to display it actually
the modern document is chart no 11484, but this is an 8th edition from 1971, under the old catalog number of C&GS 1245
it was bought apparently from "nautical supply co - chart agent, 113 east bay, jax fl" and it cost 1.50 or 1.75 at the time
but they already have a whole venue full of stuff, and it's not like this is necessarily a rare object, is it.
this is a boaters chart, you could jsut get one back then, you can just get them now, this one was 1.75 in 1971
