Nelson/Blind Bay T shirt

This image I have carefully copied from a section of the nautical Chart ” Cape Fowlwind to D’Urville Island ” credited to Captain J L Stokes in 1850. This chart was updated in 1890 with the name of Torrent Bay. The original chart is held in the Kura Heritage collection of The Auckland  Library.

I have used only the Nelson originally called Blind Bay section of the chart. For composition purposes I have added a typical  compass of the period. I have used most but not all of the bays nautical depths as the artwork would have been too crowded. I find interesting the mention of the  “Boulder Bank being partly awash”  as my view of the Boulder Bank as I look out to sea from my studio is still there 165 years later.

T shirt colours available are  Grey Marl,  Blue and White.

Fabric – Heavy weight 200 gm knitted cotton.

Available in standard mens’ sizes – Small, Medium, Large, XL, 2XL.  If you are buying for a woman as a casual loose fitting top, I recommend size Medium T shirt will fit a size 12/14,

T Shirt Care Instructions – These T shirts are hard wearing and do not shrink. I have used a water based textile ink that soaks into the cotton fibres and have  been heat set to  150 degrees centigrade. They  can go into a general wash and be ironed over the print.  All  coloured garments should be hung on the line to dry inside out. The strong NZ sunlight bleaches colour from cotton garments.
