Norfolk & Hampton Roads Nautical Chart
Hampton Roads is the Bay's great crossroads — the Elizabeth River, the James, and Mile Zero of the Intracoastal Waterway. The chart covers the commercial channels, naval restricted areas you must honor, and the run up the Elizabeth past Town Point to the Waterside marinas. Big-ship traffic is constant; know where the channel edges are.
