4342 - Grand Manan Harbours | Official New Brunswick Marine Map

Ensure precision navigation within the sheltered inlets of New Brunswick's largest island with the CHS Nautical Chart 4342: Grand Manan Harbours. Published by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS), this chart provides high-detail, large-scale coverage of the primary ports of call on Grand Manan Island, where general coastal charts lack the necessary resolution for close-quarters maneuvering.

This specialized chart is essential for mariners docking at North Head (the primary ferry terminal), Grand Harbour, Seal Cove, and Ingalls Head. Given the Bay of Fundy’s dramatic tidal fluctuations—often exceeding 6 meters (20 feet) in this area—Chart 4342 provides the granular bathymetric data required to safely time entries, identify drying heights at wharves, and locate secure anchorages.

Key Navigational Features:

• Large-Scale Harbour Insets: Detailed views of specific ports, including shoreline infrastructure, public wharves, and breakwaters.

• Official Hydrography: Features precise depth soundings and seabed characteristics critical for commercial fishing vessels and deep-draft cruisers.

• Navigational Aids: High-visibility marking of harbour lights, buoys, and daymarks used for precision approach and docking.

• Tidal Detail: Essential data for navigating narrow harbour entrances that are heavily influenced by the Bay of Fundy’s powerful current and surge.

• Professional Grade: Printed on durable, heavy-weight paper to meet official carriage requirements for vessels operating in Canadian waters.

Whether you are a commercial fisherman offloading a catch or a recreational sailor seeking refuge from a Bay of Fundy storm, Chart 4342 is the definitive guide for Grand Manan's essential harbours.
