4098 Nautical Chart: Sable Island (Île de Sable) | Official CHS Marine Chart

Navigate the treacherous and ever-shifting waters of the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" with the Official CHS Chart 4098. This vital coastal chart provides full coverage of Sable Island (Île de Sable), a remote and narrow crescent of sand located approximately 300 km southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

As a genuine Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) publication, Chart 4098 is the primary navigational authority for this environmentally sensitive region. At a detailed scale of 1:100,000, it offers the precise bathymetry required to identify the extensive submerged sandspits and steep shelf breaks that characterize the Sable Island Bank. Because the island’s shoreline is constantly reshaped by the powerful currents of the North Atlantic, having the official CHS data is essential for maintaining safe keel clearance and ensuring the protection of this National Park Reserve.

Key Features include:

• Complete Island Overview: Detailed mapping of the entire 42 km length of Sable Island and its surrounding offshore banks.

• Official Regulatory Compliance: Compiled by the CHS to meet all Canadian maritime safety and carriage requirements for commercial and expeditionary vessels.

• Hydrographic Precision: Features authoritative soundings, bottom characteristics (sand and shells), and the most current data on the island's hazardous submerged ends.

• Strategic Navigational Aids: Clearly identifies primary lights, environmental boundaries, and coastal landmarks used for orientation in a region famous for dense fog and unpredictable weather.
