329.0. "Charts" by USMRW6::RNICOLAZZO () Tue Jun 03 1986 14:27

     I'm looking for a few Charts and i'm having a hard time finding
    anybody who does not sell just chart books. Are there any marine
    supply places (or anyplace) that still sells individual charts?

329.1Help with chartsMILVAX::SCHUFFELSTue Jun 03 1986 15:0312
    I don't know where you're located so this info might be worthless.
    I just bought some charts at the Great Bay Marina in Newington,
    N.H. They had a quite sizeable collection. Also Hudson's in
    Newburyport, Ma. If you can't find what you want send me mail and
    maybe we can get together. If you're not from around central Mass.
    it's probably not worth it. I live in Lancaster and work at the
    Mill.
    
    Good luck

329.2Charts at Jackson Hardware and MarineCLOUD9::FRENCHTue Jun 03 1986 15:599
    I have bought charts at Jackson Hardware and Marine in Kittery Me.
    It is about 1 mile north of the Maine N.H. border on the (old?)
    interstate into Maine. Go north out of the Portsmouth circle about
    1 mile. Don't take the 'new' hi rise bridge over the Piscataqua
    river.

329.3in Marblehead ...PULSAR::BERENSAlan BerensTue Jun 03 1986 16:239
F L Woods in Marblehead is a NOAA chart distributor and also has or can
order DMA and Canadian charts. I can't recall having to order any East
Coast NOAA charts -- the ones we wanted were always in stock. The wait
for Nova Scotia charts was about two weeks. Bermuda charts are also
stocked.

329.4Boats US by mailGRAMPS::WCLARKWalt ClarkTue Jun 03 1986 16:5210
    Boats US also stocks NOAA and other charts for those who do not
    find them locally.  This is a mail order service for Boats US members.
    
    For coastal cruising though I have found the BBA Chart kits cover
    99% of my needs, take up less space aboard, and end up costing about
    half the equivilant NOAA chart costs.  I did find that I had to
    reinforce the couple pages that I use all the time though.

329.5Boston / South ShoreSUMMIT::THOMASEd ThomasTue Jun 03 1986 17:279
    Bliss downtown store, dont know about their other stores (128 -
    Peabody/Woburn or 128 - Dedham) but give them a call.
    
    South Shore - Kehoes in Hingham Circle (parking access is an adventure
    in itself) and I'm pretty sure the Welch co. in Scituate handles
    charts

    You need charts?!?!? Well check out Hub Nautical, 200 High St. Boston
    (617) 426-9471. You'll have to ask about mailing.   
    They have every chart ever made!!!! :-) But seriously, they supply
    the ships charts, so they have international and all U.S. ones also.
    I purchased one for Hawaii (for a wall, not for a trip unfortunately).
    Good book selection too!
