Command your passage into the open waters of Lake Ontario with the 1438 - Grindstone Island to/Ã Carleton Island Nautical Chart. This professional-grade hydrographic reference is the definitive guide for the western "front door" of the Thousand Islands. Covering the vital waters between Gananoque, Kingston, and Cape Vincent, NY, Chart 1438 provides the "ground-truth" data required for navigating the transition from the river's sheltered channels to the expansive reaches of the Great Lakes.
Produced to the rigorous standards of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS), Chart 1438 delivers comprehensive information for this high-traffic maritime corridor:
Wolfe Island & Howe Island Coverage: Features high-resolution bathymetry for the waters surrounding Wolfe Island and Howe Island, including the technical Bateau Channel and the primary Seaway shipping lanes.
Seaway Entrance Data: Provides critical mapping for the South Channel and the approach to Cape Vincent, essential for commercial "Lakers" and international ocean-going vessels.
Kingston & Carleton Island Approaches: Detailed soundings for the eastern approaches to Kingston, Ontario, and the historic waters near Carleton Island, known for its Revolutionary War-era heritage.
Navigational Hazards: Clearly identifies the shoals, currents, and buoy systems necessary to navigate the shifting depths where the river meets the lake.
Beyond the bridge, this chart is a sophisticated piece of maritime history and art for those with a connection to Kingston or the Loyalist Parkway.
Official Technical Aesthetic: Showcases the intricate line work, sounding density, and maritime symbols that define professional Canadian hydrography.
Vivid Print Clarity: Printed with high-definition precision, ensuring every light characteristic, depth contour, and buoy is sharp and legible for study or display.
The Perfect Nautical Gift: An ideal memento for sailors, residents of Frontenac County, or anyone who has sailed the legendary waters of the "Limestone City."
