Sketch of Frying Pan Shoals and Cape Fear River

Chart of the Frying Pan Shoals and Cape Fear River in North Carolina. Charts from Federal Point Lighthouse on Pleasure Island south past Smith's Island to the Frying Pan Shoals. Includes parts of Oak Island. The Frying Pan Shoals are another of the Atlantic Coast's dangerous areas for mariners with a number of shipwrecks attributed to the shoals. Tides and detailed sailing instructions and other useful information for the mariner are shown.

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.
