Shipwrite's Marine Maps-- Central Coast of British Columbia

Approaches to Higgins Passage

Each map approximately 17" by 22" 

Scale = 1:24,400 approx.

Heavy bond paper or Tyvek. 

( Tyvek is both resistant to tearing and waterproof.)

Kitasu Bay

Shipwrite's Maps have been drawn from our extensive collection of depth soundings and observations of the areas at all stages of tide over a period of years, as well as from Canadian Hydrographic Service Charts and Topographic Survey Maps.

The Charts and Publications Regulations of the Canada Shipping Act require all vessels to have on board, maintain, and use proper navigational charts. This map is not a chart within the meaning of these regulations and does not fulfil that requirement.

A caution to this effect appears on each map.

Each map is also marked plainly with "NOT TO BE USED FOR NAVIGATION".

Shipwrite Productions maps may be used as guides to show skippers the types of features that have been observed in the past as well as their characteristics and approximate locations. Shipwrite Productions maps may also be used by skippers who wish to record their own observations.
