Decorate your wall with strikingly beautiful old boat blueprints

Added to the Old Boat Blog on January 30, 2008 at 5:00 am EST

How can you find something unique for a boating enthusiast that is tasteful, interesting, looks great, and would integrate nicely into the decor of any room or vessel?

Blueprints of actual historic ships, ferries, lighthouses and more can be found for cheap (starting around $10 with free shipping). (See a full list of blueprints for sale here.)

These are actual blueprints, created recently from old authentic pieces. Shipping is free. Their versatility as decorative art means they can be used as a centerpiece in a stately boardroom, as a quirky accent in a smaller room in a house, or as a link to the past that gives a boat a connection with nautical history.

The blueprints are not framed, and will be shipped in a sturdy mailing tube. (You can frame them yourself; click the picture on the right to see an enlarged example of how it might look.)

A little out of the ordinary, but a great idea, these great-looking, fascinatingly detailed nautical blueprints are a fantastic way to add a splash of history and color to any space. Go here to see the full list.
