Preliminary Sketch of Hatteras Shoals

Chart of Cape Hatteras on the Hatteras Island in North Carolina, and its surrounding shoals. Maps Cape Hatteras and Hatteras Cove including Diamond Shoal and the Outer Shoals.
Detailed sailing directions and numerous soundings are given to facilitate navigating these dangerous waters and currents. Because of the numerous ships that have been lost here, the area is also known as the 'Graveyard of the Atlantic.'
The 1803 lighthouse is also shown on this chart.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
