    Default Free Maritime Charts

    Anyone know of any resources where I can download free maritime charts for the UK? In particular I want the 'Tynemouth Approaches' detailing the area around the wreck of the 'Oslojford'

    I know NOAA provides free charts at http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/m...ineViewer.html but that is only for US waters. Does the UK have a similar group? Hope this helps, if not maybe someone else will get some use out of it.

    Default After much research

    I conclude that the cheapest and most accessible charts in a digital format are raster charts (basically a scanned of a live chart) and cannot find anywhere you can get them for free , prices seem to start around £80
