What is a Nautical Chart? A Nautical Chart is a graphic portrayal of the marine environment. In addition to its basic elements, a chart is a working document used by the mariner both as a "road map" and worksheet and is essential for safe navigation. In conjunction with supplemental navigational aids, it is used to lay out courses and navigate ships by the shortest and most economical safe route. A chart shows the nature and form of the coast, the depths of the water and general character and configuration of the sea bottom, locations of dangers to navigation, the rise and fall of the tides, locations of man-made aids to navigation, and the characteristics of the Earth's magnetism.
