Kriegsmarine Coastal Chart of Maine

This is an Original Kriegsmarine Coastal Chart of the United States showing the "Gulf of Maine" from Marthas Vineyard to the Maine/Canada border. It was in the Gulf of Maine that 2 German Agents (including American turncoat William Colepaugh) were landed in November 1944 by the German Submarine U-1230 (for mission details: http://www.uboat.net/ops/agents1944.htm) to conduct spy operations against the United States. Aside from the famous U-boat grid maps that were used solely for plotting and communicating position, a coastal chart identical to this was very likely carried on the U-1230 to help it approach the Gulf of Maine where it landed the two agents.

This map is approximately 3 1/2 feet tall x 2 1/4 feet wide. The map has markings to indicate depth soundings and coastal navigation beacons. The map has ink stamps for the Kriegsmarine base at Wilhelmshaven. The map is in excellent condition and is perfect for framing and display in any collectors "war room."
