Greetings all,
Would anyone have a good source for 1940s Sea Charts, South Coast of England, English Channel, Normandy and the French Coast???
Any internet links would be very useful.
Many thanks
Al

Al, just spotted this site from NOAA... HERE!
Don't know much about it, but looks like it may help!
Something from the 40's though, you may have to hunt in the local Public Library. . .

Thanks Gunny,
Seems to be US costal water. It's copies of old 1940s or earlier style charts I'm after.
Cheers

Yeah, upon further digging into the site, came up with about the same results, mate, sorry!
There are lots of sites around that offer these charts for sale, but not in a freebie downloadable format. . .try the library, if you have a local one!
