It references "Ocean Passages, 1932" - The Wikipeida one references "Ocean Passages, 1950"
The blue W->E one is more recent than either.

Well spotted Stu I clicked the wrong quote, yes 1923 and the 1950 chart 5308 is on there as well, and might be lucky and get the 1973 chart from the library in 2024.

I have the 1923 edition Ocean passages and it has X 45 world sailing ship routes. Pretty fragile now after 30 years on board. Don't want to part with it but possibly able to scan professionally

I'm not seeing anything under the Digital Orders section heading!? It's just blank… Do I need to create an account first?

If Sailor_Ed can’t get his scanned I’d be willing to see if I can iron out the wrinkles and take mine to the blueprint place.

Is this the one (pardon the crap quality) you remember?

My copy of Ocean Passages of the World (1987) has this chart. it is approx 11x24 inches. No, sorry I am not going to try to scan it.

You can search on the ItemID just below the link in the original post. Or try this link, I think it should take you directly:

I also have the 1973 version and charts in a separate binder....I'd have to dig them up from under my pile of stuff......

Thats the exact place where i got mine from, unfortunately they won't send the original size (Print A0) internationally, fortunately though i got the next size down (Print A1) which is more than adequate for the boat at 24" x 45" inches (610 mm x 1143 mm)......even though the website states Print A1 = 594 mm x 841 mm or 23.4" x 33.3"....one day I will get around to laminating it.

Well I am somewhat successful, but thru https://www.gov.uk/government/organi...graphic-office


You can try email, research@ukho.gov.uk


but I have a friend in UK and she organised it by telephone, took weeks thou, thing is they are not set up as a commercial enterprise, they do not really have archives that you can search on line, I can't even get a price (friend holding out), but is available in smaller sizes at extra cost.
